The following sections describe how to uninstall your BEA software on Windows and UNIX systems. You can uninstall the software using graphical, console, or silent mode. To run the graphical-mode uninstallation program, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the uninstallation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, it automatically starts running in console mode.
As part of the uninstall process, you can also select to automatically undeploy the registry from WebLogic Server.
The uninstallation program does not remove the Registry Home directory associated with the installation, the JDK, or any other license or utilities.
