Uninstalling Software

Uninstalling Software

See the Eclipse Workbench User Guide for detailed instructions for removing software packages you’ve already installed.

Caution Even though it is possible to remove software packages, VMware advises against it. If you must do it, VMware urges you to be extremely cautious when doing so because you risk rendering other packages inoperable, or losing data.

Many installed packages contain common modules that are also needed by other installed software packages (development kits and certifications). If you inadvertently remove a common module that your other installed software depends on, you can render those software packages inoperable.

If you have used the software to create valuable data that you want to keep, take measures to copy the files to a safe location before uninstalling the software.
