Uninstall a Sitecore Single Developer topology

Uninstall a SIF configuration file

You can use SIF to uninstall a SIF configuration file on a local server.

To uninstall a SIF configuration file on a local 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-XP0.json file:

   Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration –Path <configurationpath>\sitecore-XP0.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-XP0.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 uninstallation is performed by a separate list of tasks within the configuration file. For more information, see the SIF documentation.

Uninstall the Sitecore XP Single Developer topology

To uninstall the Sitecore XP Single Developer topology:

1. In the XP0-SingleDeveloper.ps1 script, change the Install-SitecoreConfiguration cmdlet to Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration.

   For example, change

   Install-SitecoreConfiguration @singleDeveloperParams *>&1 | Tee-Object XP0-SingleDeveloper.log

   to

   Uninstall-SitecoreConfiguration @singleDeveloperParams *>&1 | Tee-Object XP0-SingleDeveloper-Uninstall.log

   The example scripts contain this line already. You only need to uncomment and comment out the appropriate lines.

2. Run the script and the topology is removed.
