Uninstalled FreeFileSync Still Showing on Website

I have uninstalled all my installations of FreeFileSync on all of my computers, but the FreeFileSync website is still showing 2 installations. However, there is also a symbol of a rubbish bin to the left of each installation listing. I wish to know whether or not I am starting with a clean slate before installing the Donation Edition of FreeFileSync on several computers. Thank you.

You have to click that trash bin and that activation will be slate for deletion

Thank you for the helpful reply!
I had previously tried clicking on the rubbish bins, but nothing seemed to have happened. However, I just now went back to the site and found that if I hovered the mouse pointer over the trash bin icons, a message appeared giving the date when the software would be removed. I had thought that the deletion would be immediate, but one of the installations is slated for removal on September 9 and the other on September 21.
Now I wonder if I can go ahead and install the latest version of Freefilesync on the computers slated for removal in September, or if I should wait until after the deletions have occurred (?).

You can install them fine, it will give you a message that you are at your limit, but it should still work fine

Thanks for the reassuring reply.
I do not think I will need to use the software immediately, so to be on the safe side, I might wait to do the new installations until I see that the old installations have been removed from the system.

That's fine! You can also increase the number of machines allocated and shortening the donation period, then just switch it back after
