Uninstall a Sitecore instance using SIF

You can use SIF to uninstall a Sitecore instance/role from a local server.

To uninstall a Sitecore instance:

  1. Launch PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. Run the Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration cmdlet, and specify the path to your SIF configuration file.

    For example, using the sitecore-XP1-cm.json file:

    Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration –Path <configurationpath>\sitecore-XP1-cm.json

    Alternatively, you can pass in the parameters declared in the SIF configuration files by prefixing their name with a dash “ -" in the command line.

    For example:

    Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration -Path <configurationpath>\sitecore-XP1-cm.json -SqlDbPrefix SC.

    In a PowerShell command line, you can pass additional parameters to control the uninstall process.

    For example, running the Verbose cmdlet increases the amount of information that is logged, and the -Skip <taskname> cmdlet skips one or more tasks.

To correctly uninstall a SIF configuration, you must pass the same parameters that were used during the installation.

The uninstall is performed by a separate list of tasks within the configuration file. For more information, see the SIF documentation.

Uninstall the XP Scaled topology in a distributed environment

Centralized uninstallation of distributed deployments is not supported yet. If you need to re-install a scaled deployment you must remove everything that was installed during the previous installation from each individual computer.
