Uninstalling packages by using wizard mode

You can use IBM® Installation Manager to uninstall packages that you installed with Installation Manager.

Before you begin

You must log in with a user account that has the same privileges as the account that was used to install the packages that you want to uninstall.

About this task

You can uninstall packages from a single package group or you can uninstall all installed packages from every package group.

Procedure

To uninstall packages:

  1. Close programs that you installed with Installation Manager.
  2. In Installation Manager, click Uninstall.
  3. In the Uninstall wizard, select the packages to uninstall. To uninstall every package from every package group on your computer, click Select all. Information about the translations and architecture for the package are shown.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Summary page, review your selections. Click Back to change your selections. If you are satisfied with your choices, click Uninstall.

    On Windows, Installation Manager checks for running processes. If processes are blocking the uninstall process, a list of these processes is shown in the Blocking Processes section. You must stop these processes before you continue the uninstall process. Click Stop All Blocking Processes. If there are no processes that must be stopped, you do not see this list. The running processes lock files that must be accessed or modified by Installation Manager.

  6. When the uninstallation process finishes, the Complete page opens and confirms the uninstallation process.
