How to clean uninstall from Windows 10?
-
I'm trying to follow this guide here:
https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/upgrade
At the
Shutdown and Uninstall FusionAuthsection for Windows.I ran the code and I'm getting the errors below. But this guide seem to be for upgrading. How do I uninstall fusionauth and clean all of its related files from the Windows environment? AppData, Temp, database tables, etc. Thanks in advance!

The Windows install is just a zip package. So deleting is mostly just deleting the directory.
Un-install the service
If you installed a Windows service after unzipping the bundle during the installation, you should un-install that first. If you only used the
startup.batscript you can skip this step.cd C:\Users\me\projects\fusionauth\fusionauth-app\apache-tomcat\bin FusionAuthApp.exe /uninstallhttps://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/upgrade
Note:
Note, I see at the bottom of your code example that binary is not present in the directory. I'll have to look into why that is not present. In any case, if it is not present, that also means you have not installed the service, so you can skip this step.Delete the directory
To complete the un-install, simply delete the directory once you have stopped the processes.
rmdir C:\Users\me\projects\fusionauth /sIf you have a database running locally, you will need to delete that separately. To do that you can open a SQL shell and run:
drop database fusionauth;Hope that helps! Perhaps we need to add an un-install section to the documentation.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have successfully uninstalled it.
In addition to your instructions. I followed the same logic and removed the AppData as well.
rmdir C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\fusionauth /sThanks for your help!
