When you no longer need the Collibra Platform software on your server(s), you can remove it. In this section, you learn how to do this safely on Windows systems.
Prerequisites
- You have administrative rights on your Windows system.
- You have stopped the environment. See Stop an environment.
Steps
- In Windows Explorer, go to your Collibra installation directory, the default is C:\collibra.
- Double-click uninstall.bat to start the Uninstall wizard.
- In the command prompt, type yes to continue.
If you see user account control warnings, click Yes for each of the requests, if you click No, the removal of the software will fail. - Enter y if you want to delete the data directory or press Enter to keep the data.
- Press Enter to complete the uninstall.
- Delete the Collibra installation directory.
If Collibra has been installed on multiple nodes, repeat this procedure on every node.
Note
If you did not stop the environment before uninstalling the software:
- Restart the server and remove the services manually.
- Check whether the Collibra installation and data directory still exist. If they do, remove them manually.
