1. Choose from one of the following options:
• Select Start→All Programs→ HP Insight Software→Uninstall HP Insight Software and
select HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
• From the Control panel, click Add or Remove Programs, select HP Insight Software, and
click HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
2. Confirm the removal.
After removing HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, some files might not be removed.
Manually removing such files might cause an access denied error message. If this occurs,
reboot the server where VCEM is installed, and then remove the files.
NOTE: The removal operation does not remove the following VCEM folder.
C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager\
The VCEM folder does not cause any system damage or prevent VCEM from future
reinstallation.
3. The removal logs are located in %systemdrive%\HPIC\logs\timestamp folder. The
%systemdrive% is the drive where the operating system is installed (such as C:) and the
timestamp identifies the system clock timestamp.
