Uninstalling the application

Uninstalling Kaspersky Endpoint Security involves the following steps:

1. Uninstalling the application and graphical user interface of the application

   Uninstall the packages of the application and, if you are using the graphical user interface, the packages of the graphical user interface from the protected devices.

   You can uninstall both the application package and the graphical user interface package, or uninstall only the graphical user interface package. It is not possible to uninstall only the application package if the graphical user interface package is installed.

   You can uninstall the application and the application's graphical user interface in the following ways:

   • Remotely using Kaspersky Security Center.
   • Locally from the command line.

   While the application is being uninstalled, all Kaspersky Endpoint Security tasks will be stopped on the device.

2. Removing Network Agent

   If you were using Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you must uninstall the Network Agent from protected devices.

   You can uninstall Network Agent in the following ways:

   • Remotely using Kaspersky Security Center.
   • Locally from the command line.
3. Uninstalling the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-in

   If you were using Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you must uninstall the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration web plug-in or MMC plug-in, depending on the console that you were using to manage Kaspersky Security Center.

After uninstalling the application, all information saved by the application is deleted, except for the license database. Installed application certificates are also removed. The license database is saved, and you can use it to reinstall the application.

If the application was installed in a systemd, the systemd settings are restored to their initial state after the application uninstallation.
