Uninstalling BigFix Explorer

Both automatic and manual uninstallation are supported.

The automatic uninstallation is performed by running, both on Windows and Red Hat, a dedicated Fixlet named 5624- BigFix_TROUBLESHOOTING Uninstall BigFix Explorer.

The manual uninstallation is supported using the following native methods:

On Windows using the BES Remover tool. After selecting the BigFix Explorer entry, click Uninstall. The tool removes each file and setting related to the BigFix Explorer installation.
On Red Hat using the command rpm -e BESExplorer. The uninstallation does not remove the installation folders that need to be removed manually: /opt/BESExplorer and /var/opt/BESExplorer directories.
