# Uninstall Trellix Agent using command-line options on Windows systems

You can remove Trellix Agent from client systems using the Windows command-line option.

1. Open a command prompt(as administrator) on the client system.
2. Navigate to the Trellix Agent installation folder (where `FrmInst.exe` is located):

  - For 64-bit Systems: **`cd C:\Program Files\McAfee\Agent\x86`**
  - For 32-bit Systems: **`cd C:\Program Files\McAfee\Agent`**
3. Run the uninstallation command based on your requirement:

  - **To Forcibly Remove the Agent (Recommended)**: Run this command to guarantee removal, even if other Trellix products are installed. **`FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL`**.

Alternatively, if the local utility is missing, run this command from the folder containing the installation package: **`framepkg.exe /forceuninstall`**

### Warning

This removes the Agent immediately. Any remaining Trellix products (like Endpoint Security) will become unmanaged and stop receiving updates.
  - **To Perform Standard Removal:** Run this command only if you have confirmed no other Trellix products are installed. **`FrmInst.exe /REMOVE=AGENT`**

### Important

The Agent will be removed even if point products (like ENS) are present on the system. However, those products will become unmanaged and will no longer receive updates or policy changes.

If Trellix Agent is still not removed, remove it manually. For details, see [KB65863](https://support.trellix.com/s/article/KB65863).
