Uninstalling JFrog Artifactory

This topic provides instructions for uninstalling Artifactory based on its original installation method.

Warning

Uninstalling Artifactory will permanently remove the Artifactory user account. If you plan to reinstall Artifactory, ensure that a new user account will be created with a different User ID (UID), and your previous user configurations will be lost.
