Uninstalling Cribl Edge from Windows

You can uninstall Cribl Edge – whether for a clean reinstall or permanently – either via the Windows UI or via your command prompt.

Using the Windows UI

To uninstall Cribl Edge using Windows’ graphical UI:

On your Windows Server, search for Add or remove programs.
In the Apps & features list, scroll to Cribl Edge, and click Uninstall.
In the confirmation dialog, click Yes.

A success message will confirm removal.

This uninstall process does not automatically delete the local, log, pid, and state directories, because those folders include contents generated after the original installation completed. To completely remove the application, you must explicitly delete the folders from the filesystem.

Using the Command Prompt

If you installed Cribl Edge using the Msi Installer, you can uninstall it by running the following at a command prompt:

    - msiexec /x cribl-<version>-<build>-<arch>.msi
