Uninstalling WebSphere Application Server from the IBM i server removes all the product libraries and directories. If you do not specify the option to delete all the profiles when you invoke the uninstall script, the user-defined information is not removed. If you later decide that you do not need the user-defined data, you can manually remove it.
