The uninstall Utility

The uninstall utility removes SIMS and other related files and packages from your system. You can specify uninstall to perform a standard or dramatic procedure.


Note - uninstall may not remove certain packages that are likely to have been installed by a separate application and may be used by that application. This is the case even if SIMS has installed that package upon setup.
The syntax for using this command is:

 
uninstall [-c sims] | [-d sims]
 

The options for this command are:

% uninstall -c sims
 

The following command performs a dramatic uninstall:
