Uninstalling Jira applications from Windows
This page describes the procedure for uninstalling Jira, which had been installed using the Windows Installer.
If you wish to re-install Jira in "unattended mode", do not uninstall your previous installation of Jira just yet. See Using the silent installation feature for more information.

>'JIRA X.Y'>'Uninstall JIRA X.Y'
(where 'X.Y' refers to the installed version of JIRA that you are about to uninstall)
OR - Open the Windows Control Panel, choose 'Add or Remove Programs' (on Windows XP) or 'Programs and Features' on (Windows 7/Vista), and then uninstall 'Jira X.Y' from the list of applications
