Uninstalling Client Machines

Use the Add/Remove Programs applet to manually uninstall CA DLP from a machine. This applet is part of the Control Panel.

To uninstall using Add/Remove Programs

1. In the Add/Remove Programs screen:

   Windows XP: Select ‘CA DLP Client’ and click Change.

   Note: If you click Remove instead, you do not get the option to keep the database (see step 3).

2. When the Installation Wizard starts, go to the Program Maintenance screen.

   Choose Remove to uninstall CA DLP from the current machine.

3. In the Remove the Program screen, you can choose to keep or remove the local database.

   If you choose to keep the database, you can reconnect to it when you reinstall CA DLP. Simply re-enter the user name and password for a valid database account when you next run the installation wizard.

4. The wizard now has all the information it needs and begins the uninstall immediately.
