After uninstalling the applications, certain systems settings remain, which can be manually
removed. These settings should be removed before performing a clean installation of Sentinel,
particularly if the Sentinel uninstallation encountered errors.
NOTE: On Linux, uninstalling Collector Manager or Client Applications does not remove the
Sentinel Administrator User from the operating system. You need to manually remove that user, if
desired.
