Introduction
Manual uninstallation may be necessary when automated methods, such as System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Group Policy, or bulk removal tools, are not available or applicable. This method is also useful for troubleshooting, device repurposing, or when offboarding individual systems from WXP Insights services.
This article provides step-by-step guide to uninstall the WXP Insights agent.

From the Uninstall wizard, click Remove. The wizard will uninstall and unenroll the device from any WXP Insights services it was enrolled in.
