Removing components

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint DLP, v8.5.x, v8.6.x, v8.7.x, v8.8.x, v8.9.x, v9.0, v10.x
  • Forcepoint Email Security, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint appliances, v8.5.x

On Windows machines, security components are removed using the Forcepoint Security Installer. When run on a machine that has current-version components installed, the installer displays the Modify Installation dashboard.

For each module found (Forcepoint Infrastructure, Web, Data, and Email), the Modify Installation dashboard shows Modify and Remove links. (When no components of a particular type are found, an Install link, used to launch a custom installation, is displayed instead.)

Clicking a Remove link starts a separate uninstaller that is used to remove components of each type. See the following sections for instructions:
