Uninstalling FileCatalyst Central

Windows

Standard uninstall

  • Click on 'Start', search for services.msc, and then run that application.

  • Find the FileCatalyst Central service and stop it.

  • Open ‘Control Panel’, navigate to ‘Programs and Features’ and locate FileCatalyst Central.

  • Click ‘uninstall’ and click the 'yes' option when prompted.

Silent uninstall

  • Open a command prompt and navigate to the install directory of the product you wish to uninstall.

  • Run the uninstaller from the command line with the VERYSILENT flag: unins000.exe /VERYSILENT

  • Note that if you have installed multiple versions in this directory, the number at the end of the exe may have been incremented.

Linux

NOTE: You may need admin access to perform some of these commands.

  • If you are running the FileCatalyst Central as a service, the service must be stopped and removed:

    • Execute the appropriate command for your version of Linux in the terminal window (e.g. in Ubuntu the command is service fc_central stop).

    • Navigate to the service_wrapper folder located within the central install path (e.g. /opt/utechsoft/central/service_wrapper).

    • Uninstall the service by running ./uninstall.sh

  • If you are running the FileCatalyst Central stand-alone, shut the instance down:

    • Open a new Terminal window.

    • Navigate to the install path (e.g. /opt/utechsoft/central/).

    • Execute the command ./fc_central_stop.sh

  • Verify the product is no longer running by executing the command ps -ef | egrep -i "filecatalyst"

  • Remove the folder structure by executing rm -rf <path to the Central install directory>

    • (e.g. rm -rf /opt/utechsoft/central)
