Remove components
To remove components tht you installed (such as VDAs), Citrix® recommends using the Windows feature for removing or changing programs. Alternatively, you can remove components using the command line, or a script.
When you remove components, prerequisites are not removed, and firewall settings are not changed.
When you remove a VDA, the machine restarts automatically after the removal, by default.
Remove components using the Windows feature for removing or changing programs
From the Windows feature for removing or changing programs:
-
To remove a VDA, select Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent \<version>, then right-click and select Uninstall. The installer launches and you can select the components to be removed.
-
To remove the Universal Print Server, select Citrix Universal™ Print Server, then right-click and select Uninstall.
Remove a VDA using the command line
Run the command that was used to install the VDA:
VDAServerSetup.exe, VDAWorkstationSetup.exe, or VDAWorkstationCoreSetup.exe. See Install using the command line for syntax descriptions.
-
To remove only the VDA or only the Citrix Workspace app, use the
/removeand/componentsoptions. -
To remove the VDA and Citrix Workspace app, use the
/removealloption.
For example, the following command removes the VDA and Citrix Workspace™ app from a multi-session OS machine.
VDAServerSetup.exe /removeall
For example, the following command removes the VDA but not Citrix Workspace app for Windows (if it is installed) from a single-session OS machine.
VDAWorkstationSetup.exe /remove /components vda
You can also remove a VDA using a script provided by Citrix. See Remove VDAs using the script.
