Uninstalling WebSphere Premises Server

This task describes how to uninstall WebSphere® Premises Server and its related products and components.

About this task

The uninstaller file for WebSphere Premises Server removes the WebSphere Application Server code relative to WebSphere Premises Server, such as Enterprise Java™ Beans (EJBs), servlets, and Java Server Pages (JSPs). It also removes the WebSphere MQ code relative to WebSphere Premises Server, including queues and queue managers.
