Setup /x. Removing the application

Kaspersky Endpoint Security can be uninstalled from the command line in one of the following ways:

In interactive mode by using the Application Setup Wizard.
In silent mode. After uninstallation is started in silent mode, your involvement in the removal process is not required (silent uninstallation). To uninstall the application in silent mode, use the /s and /qn switches.

To uninstall the application in silent mode:

Run the command line interpreter (cmd.exe) as an administrator.
Go to the folder where the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution package is located.
Run the following command:
- If the removal process is not password protected:
  setup_kes.exe /s /x
  
  or
  
  msiexec.exe /x <GUID> /qn
  
  <GUID> is the unique ID of the application. You can find out the GUID of the application by using the following command:
  
  wmic product where "Name like '%Kaspersky Endpoint Security%'" get Name, IdentifyingNumber
- If the removal process is password protected:
  setup_kes.exe /pKLLOGIN=<user name> /pKLPASSWD=<password> /s /x
  
  or
  
  msiexec.exe /x <GUID> KLLOGIN=<user name> KLPASSWD=<password> /qn
You can also use the SAVEQB parameter to save files scanned by the application and placed in Backup. Backup copies of files are stored in the folder C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\KES.21.20\QB. By default, saving files in Backup is disabled (SAVEQB=0).

Example:

msiexec.exe /x {9A017278-F7F4-4DF9-A482-0B97B70DD7ED} KLLOGIN=KLAdmin KLPASSWD=samplePassword /qn
