Uninstalling the Symantec Event Agent

Uninstalling the Symantec Event Agent removes the Java application that performs communication functions between Information Manager and the collector.

If other products do not use the Symantec Event Agent, you must uninstall the Symantec Event Agent after you have uninstalled the collector component.

Note:
In some circumstances, the collector uninstallation programs may not fully uninstall all files. To completely uninstall all files, change directories to C:\Program Files\Symantec, and remove the contents manually.

See Uninstalling the collector and its components.
