Uninstalling Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders
To remove Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders:
1. Ensure that a user with the context menu options Decrypt, and Search
encrypted… logs on (Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders Synchronize) to
the computer. Also, this user should be allowed to access the encryption keys
necessary to decrypt any data on the computer.
2. Search the local drives for any encrypted data. Use the Search encrypted…
function described in the Search encrypted…secti
on.
3. Decrypt the
data found in the search by selecting all search results, right-clicking
them and select Decrypt…. For large amounts of data, the decryption process
may take some time. If a file fails to be decrypted, it is most probably opened by
another application, e.g. a virus scanner doing a system scan for the moment.
Try to decrypt the failed files again after a few seconds.
4. Open Add or Remove Programs.
