Once you have removed the application files, you can delete the configuration files. They are stored in the following locations by default: ### Windows * `%ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal` * `%ProgramData%\UniversalAutomation` ### Linux * `%HOME%/.PowerShellUniversal/` ### Mac OS * `%HOME%/.PowerShellUniversal/` ### Desktop * `%AppData%\PowerShellUniversal` ## Database Removing the database depends on the database type used. ### SQLite SQLite databases are stored in a single file on the file system. #### Windows * `%ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal\database.db` #### Linux and Mac OS * `%HOME%/.PowerShellUniversal/database.db` ### PostgreSQL and SQL PostgreSQL and SQL databases are stored on your SQL server and will require you to manually remove the database. ## IIS You need to remove the IIS App Pool and Website when removing PowerShell Universal.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/getting-started/uninstall.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
