You can uninstall IP Service Activator software on a component-by-component basis. You must delete the core component last because doing so removes the main installation directory.

About IP Service Activator Components and Packages

Each IP Service Activator component is made up of a number of packages, as listed in the table below. To uninstall an IP Service Activator component you need to remove the relevant packages. See "Uninstalling an IP Service Activator Component" for the uninstallation procedure.
