I agree that Family Tree Builder is far inferior to Legacy. I am sure feedback to that effect from many like me made them anxious to acquire Legacy.
The problem with uploading new gedcoms and deleting the old ones is that any relationships and photos of people in your previous gedcom will have to be reconnected. If you have a large list of members, you must manually reenter ALL of those! Also, so far, MyHeritage is unable to calculate relationships beyond the first cousins (sometimes second) if you have a large gedcom. Their support sometimes is willing to enter those relationships for you, but if you delete the old gedcom, you must again prevail upon them to do do it all over again. For photos, you will have to reenter them yourself. But even if your thirs cousins are not so identified, MyHeritage will not include those specially entered relatives in your list of people whose birthdays and anniversaries are in the calendar! Your only option, if you have, say a third cousins, is to choose ALL relatives! It will keep you busy responding to your members about who those people are! That is, if you have have reconnected them. Many will wonder why their photos are not visible. I have not the time nor energy to reconnect photos to all the people in my tree each time I upload a new gedcom! That is not why I am doing genealogy! I have had to prune my members because I am more interested in having correctly sourced facts and relatives than padding my database with dubious connections. I am appalled at the totally false matches that MyHeritage presents (internet trees are NOT sources!) Was Legacy is such dire straits? They could have raised their prices and maintained their integrity rather than lose their place as a premier program. Such a shame!

If you want to remove it, you need to uninstall the program. It should be in your Apps list (Settings - Apps in Windows 10) and called MyHeritage Family Tree Builder It's nothing to do with Legacy. Note that it is set by default to start on Starting your computer so you'll need to go to your computer Task Manager (in windows 10 you can right click the Taskbar to access) Startup Tab, find it and disable it. I installed it last week just to take a look and see if it was a viable way to upload to MyHeritage. I decided it was probably easier to make a new gedcom of the people I wanted to upload and just upload a new tree and delete the old one than work out whether I could import and merge (wanting to add another branch to my online tree for DNA matching as my cousin has given me permission to manage her DNA on MH). Apologies if I've given you more information than you need. I don't know how computer literate you are. Cathy [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, 27 June 2018 12:28 PM I am having difficulty deleting MyHeritage from my computer. I found its folder on my C drive within another folder named “Program Files (x86)”. When I right-click then click delete, a pop-up message says “The action can’t be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program”. All my other programs were however closed. Could the problem be that Legacy keeps a connection to MyHeritage in order to conduct the background website searches on family trees? I cannot think of any other program that may be using MyHeritage. It was previously pinned to the taskbar but not now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My computer uses Windows 7. I have deleted MyHeritage on the “All Programs” list but it cannot be deleted as noted above.
