Remove components 编辑

To remove components, Citrix recommends using the Windows feature for removing or changing programs. Alternatively, you can remove components using the command line, or a script on the installation media.

When you remove components, prerequisites are not removed, and firewall settings are not changed. For example, when you remove a Delivery Controller, the SQL Server software and the databases are not removed.

If you upgraded a Controller from an earlier deployment that included Web Interface, you must remove the Web Interface component separately. You cannot use the installer to remove Web Interface.

For information about removing features not mentioned below, see the feature’s documentation.

Preparation

Before removing a Controller, remove it from the Site. For details, see Remove a Controller.

Close Studio and Director before removing them.
