Uninstalling Opportunity Detection

Run the Opportunity Detection uninstaller to uninstall Opportunity Detection. When you run the Opportunity Detection uninstaller, the files that were created during the installation process are removed. For example, files such as configuration files, installer registry information, and user data are removed from the computer.

When you install IBM® EMM products, an uninstaller is included in the Uninstall_Product directory, where Product is the name of your IBM® product.

If you manually remove the files in your installation directory instead of running the uninstaller, the result might be an incomplete installation if you later reinstall an IBM® product in the same location. After uninstalling a product, its database is not removed. The uninstaller only removes default files that are created during installation. Any file that is created or generated after installation is not removed.

On UNIX™, the same user account that installed Opportunity Detection must run the uninstaller.
