Removing TurningPoint Cloud
Your sessions and question lists are stored in the TurningPoint Cloud folder on your receiver. If you converted this from a TurningPoint 5 receiver, they’ll be in the main folder of your drive. Drives that were issued with TurningPoint Cloud have the TurningPoint Cloud folder in the main area. If you want to be able to use them, open up your receiver in Finder and double-click on the TurningPoint Cloud folder.
Under TurningPoint 5, you’ll see the Sessions and Content folders. These contain your sessions and question lists respectively. Copy them somewhere outside of this folder.
Once you’ve got everything out of it that you want, you can drag the entire TurningPoint Mac folder to the trash. TurningPoint Cloud will be removed.
