How to Uninstall the DCA on Windows 
Uninstalling the DCA also automatically uninstalls the JDK and ServletExec. 
Caution:
 If you are uninstalling the DCA as part of a reinstallation, and you have

these files before proceeding. 
To Uninstall the DCA 
1.  Stop the DCA server.  
 
Caution:

2.  From the Windows Start Bar, select Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove 
Programs > Dynamic Content Adapter 2.01. 
3.  Delete the DCA directory, along with all of its subdirectories.

use Windows Explorer to delete it. 
4.  Reboot your server.  
Caution:

can adversely affect a subsequent reinstallation of the DCA.
