Uninstalling the server



    Uninstall on Windows

    Uninstalling the server on Windows removes all files installed by the Flash Media Server installer unless the files were modified. Any folders and files that you added or modified after installation are not removed. The configuration files and Apache configuration files are backed up, and the log files are not deleted.
