About this task

Procedure

  2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
  3. Click one of the following IBM® WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition products to uninstall:

  4. Click Change/Remove. The uninstaller launches. The mode of the uninstaller depends on the mode that was used by the installer: graphical, console, or silent.
  5. Follow the instructions on the uninstaller.
    • If you are using the graphical uninstaller perform the following actions:

      If you want the uninstaller to remove the configuration directory and its subdirectories that were created when you installed WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition, select the Remove configuration check box. Do not select this check box if you have stored data in this directory that is not related to WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition or if you want to reuse the same configuration data later for another installation.

      The uninstaller summarizes what will be uninstalled. Click Next. Wait while the product is uninstalled.

      If the uninstaller lists items that cannot be uninstalled, delete these items manually.

      Click Done.
