Uninstalling the Software
Uninstalling EFT removes everything installed in the \Program Files\Globalscape folder. It does not uninstall configuration files, Oracle or SQL Server tables, Reports, or Backup files in \ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Enterprise. (To see \ProgramData\, open Windows Explorer, click View, then select the Hidden Items check box.)
To remove EFT
-
Click Start > Programs (Apps) > Globalscape > EFT (or EFT Server Enterprise) > Uninstall EFT (or EFT Enterprise). The Uninstall wizard appears.
-
Click Uninstall. The uninstalling progress page appears.
-
After the program files are removed, the Uninstallation Complete page appears. Your license information remains in the Windows Registry, in case you decide to reinstall. Click Close.
For a "Clean" Uninstall
After uninstalling above is complete, you can clean up any leftover files manually. Some files are left behind in case you want to reinstall EFT. The table below lists the various folders, files, and registry settings that can be removed if you don't plan to reinstall EFT.
-
The EFT uninstall wizard does not affect the database. If you want to purge the database, do that before deleting\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server Enterprise\ because that is where the purge scripts are stored.
