Uninstalling the PPS Server Suite

Before starting to uninstall, back up all the still needed files and especially those you added or changed yourself, as pattern files, your own ticket templates, access settings to the database, tickets, etc. If necessary, back up also the database statuses. For this, use the Data Backup program (see How to Backup the PPS Database) and store the backup on a safe location.
Uninstalling will not remove some files that were not added by the installation program itself or that were changed. You have to delete these files by yourself.

Close all programs!
The setup program cannot remove locked files.
