Uninstalling Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3
This chapter describes how to uninstall Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 and remove its
components.
Removing an Enterprise Server Installation
This section describes how to remove Enterprise Server software that was installed using the
self-extracting file. During installation, a script for uninstalling Enterprise Server is placed in
the installation directory. This section provides instructions for removing the software using
this script. If you attempt to remove the software using another method, problems are likely to
arise when you try to reinstall the same version of Enterprise Server or when you install a new
version.
Note –
To uninstall a ZIP installation, manually remove the contents of the installation directory
after making sure that there are no files that you want to keep.
