Uninstall IBM Cognos Controller

If you no longer require IBM® Cognos® Controller, uninstall all IBM Cognos Controller components.

It is not necessary to back up the configuration and data files on Windows. These files are preserved during the uninstallation.

We recommend that you close all programs before you uninstall IBM Cognos Controller. Otherwise, some files may not be removed.

Procedure

  1. From the Start menu, click Programs, IBM Cognos, Uninstall IBM Cognos.

    The Uninstall wizard appears.

    Tip: Cognos is the default name of the Program Folder that is created during the installation. If you chose another name, go to that folder to find the program.
  2. Follow the instructions to uninstall the components.

    The cognos_uninst_log.htm file records the activities that the Uninstall wizard performs while uninstalling files.
