Not until you install VFP8.

There should be if you install it properly. If you still have VFP8beta install, you can try to reinstall it and than uninstall. Otherwise you'll have to delete manualy a few directories and registry entries. In addition, there's special section in VFP8 readme file about cleaning after VFP8beta install.
