DocuShare Installation Guide

Uninstall DocuShare

If you select to retain the content store, the uninstall Wizard does not remove the DocuShare directory that
includes your DocuShare repository content. To be safe, before uninstalling DocuShare move the
repository content to another storage media by using the DocuShare command line utility, dsexport. Refer
to the DocuShare Command Line Utilities Guide for details.

Uninstall removes all installed language packs.

Caution: The DocuShare uninstaller only removes DocuShare, not the installed database. You

should back up data for all Windows applications sharing the database. If you are using
the SQL Server Express database, back up all data to a secure location.

To uninstall DocuShare:

1. In Administrative Tools, select and open the Services application.

2. Select DocuShare, and then select STOP the service.

3. In the Control Panel, select and open the Add/Remove application.

4. Scroll and select DocuShare, click Remove, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

5. After Add/Remove uninstalls DocuShare, manually delete the directory where DocuShare was

installed.
