Uninstalling PSQL
The uninstall program removes the PSQL and all related components from your system that were added by the installation program, including registry settings, configurations and PSQL system and sample databases.
The uninstall program does not remove the following:
•
PSQL keys.
•
Databases that you create under the PSQL installation directories.
•
DSNs and database names associated with those databases.
•
Databases in locations other than the installation directory for PSQL installation directory.
•
Other products related to PSQL such as AuditMaster, Backup Agent, or DataExchange. Such programs have their own uninstall programs. Refer to the documentation for each product.

To uninstall PSQL
1
Use a PSQL license utility (GUI or CLI) to deauthorize the key that was used to authorize the product. This allows you to use the key for a different installation if you so choose. (See To Deauthorize a Key in PSQL User's Guide, for example.)
2
In the Windows Control Panel, select Programs and Features.
3
Select the installed PSQL product from the list.
4
Click Change then Next.
5
Click Remove then Next and follow any prompts during the uninstall.
If prompted, close or uninstall any running applications that may interfere with uninstalling PSQL.
*Caution: Unpredictable results may occur during the uninstall if you ignore programs that may interfere.
Restart your system if prompted to do so.
