Uninstalling an on-premise extractor

To uninstall your extractor, first determine if you are running it as a service. If you aren't using a service, simply stop the extractor by closing your command line window and deleting the installation files.

However, if you have installed the extractor as a service, you must manually stop the process and remove the service registration from your system. Follow the platform-specific steps below for Windows or Linux to ensure a clean removal.
