If you ran instant access operations, remove any instant access virtual machines that were created.

For instructions, see Removing an instant access VM from the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console.
Stop any IBM Spectrum Protect services that are running. The names of the services typically begin with TSM.
For example, you can run the following command from a PowerShell command prompt:
```
stop-service TSM*
```
From a command prompt, issue the following command:
```
cd extract_folder\TSMHYPERV_WIN
```
where extract_folder specifies the folder where you extracted the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V installation files.
To uninstall Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V with the Suite installer, issue the following command from a PowerShell command prompt:
```
Start-Process -FilePath ".\spinstall.exe" -ArgumentList "/silent /remove" -wait
```

To remove any remaining components, run the following cmdlet from a PowerShell command prompt. Alternatively, include the following cmdlet in a script for automation.

$ve = "IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments:"
$lic = "$ve Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V License"
$ws  = "IBM Spectrum Protect WebServer"
$jvm = "IBM Spectrum Protect JVM"

Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Product -Filter "Name=`"$lic`"" | Invoke-WmiMethod `
  -Name "Uninstall" | Select-Object ReturnValue
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Product -Filter "Name=`"$ws`""  | Invoke-WmiMethod `
