The Sensor Removal Tool (SRT) IS A TOOL OF LAST RESORT if standard uninstall fails. The main use-case for this tool is for when the normal uninstall methods fail
The tool is not designed to uninstall a Carbon Black Cloud (CBC) Windows Sensor, but rather to clean up application remnants left over from an incomplete or failed installation/uninstallation/upgrade
This should not be used by default, even after running the uninstaller, unless there are issues removing the product or updating the sensor to a newer version
The SRT will need to be run 1) in Safe mode and then 2) in Normal mode, requiring at least two system reboots

When opening a Support case, please provide the following:

Details regarding the scenario you're currently experiencing; e.g. what seems to be the overall issue
Verbose MSI log (generated at install using /L*vx option)
cb-installer-<sensor.version>.log (3.5.x.x and higher Sensors ) or confer-temp.log (3.4.x.x or older sensor)
- Easiest to find these files by running the following from C:\
```
dir /s cb-installer-*.log
dir /s confer-temp.log
```
- Otherwise the files can be located in any of the following locations
```
C:\Windows\TEMP\
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Temp\

```
