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.
To uninstall JIRA from Windows:
- Log in to Windows as the same user that was used to install JIRA with the Windows Installer.
- Start the uninstaller by doing one of the following:
- Click the Windows 'Start' menu > 'All Programs'
>
'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
OR - Open the Windows command prompt, and do the following:
- Change directory
cd
to your JIRA installation directory - Run the
uninstall.exe
file
- Change directory
- Click the Windows 'Start' menu > 'All Programs'
- Follow the prompts to uninstall JIRA from your computer.
Please note:
- The uninstaller will not delete the JIRA home directory.
- All log files that were generated while JIRA was running will not be deleted.
- All files within the JIRA installation directory will be deleted (with the exception of the Tomcat
log
folder located in the JIRA installation directory). - The uninstaller can be made to operate in unattended mode by specifying the
-q
option at the Windows command prompt — i.e.uninstall.exe -q
