You can uninstall the software in interactive mode. The installer starts a wizard that guides you through the uninstallation.

  1. Log on to the system with administrator rights.

  2. Switch to Disabled mode.

    > sadmin disable

    Note

    Disabling the software requires a system reboot.

  3. Start the installer.

    • For Windows 7 and later, navigate to and open the Programs and Features window.

    • For other Windows platforms, navigate to and open the Add or Remove Programs window.

  4. Select Trellix Solidifier from the list of programs and click Remove.

    A message prompts you to confirm if you want to remove the software.

  5. Click Yes to continue.

    The software is removed from the system. During uninstallation, all software-related files are removed from the system. A few files might remain in your system. Perform these steps to remove the remaining files:

    • Empty the Solidcore folder in the installation directory (typically, C:\Program Files\McAfee)

    • Empty the Certificate folder if it contains any public certificates.

    If needed, you can manually delete these components.
