Uninstalling the Software

This task explains how to uninstall the software.

Most software is uninstalled using DS Installer tools. However, certain components cannot be uninstalled using these tools because there is no entry in the Start > Control Panel > Programs> Programs and Features on Windows, and no command line tools are provided. This is the case, for example, for web apps. In this case, the installation directory must be removed manually.

For more specific information about what is uninstalled when uninstalling native apps in particular, see Installation and Setup - Install - 3DEXPERIENCE Platform - Installing 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Services for the First Time - Installing Services One-by-One - Native Apps Installation - Installing and Deploying the Software - Uninstalling Native Apps.

Note: Deactivate your anti-virus software before uninstalling the software.
