Hi @shussaini 

I am not getting any issue while uninstalling flexPLM but actually want to the process of uninstallation of windchill and FlexPLM. I am getting error after installation of FlexPLM (Site is not responding error getting in method server log)  so my teammates asked to uninstall 12.1 version and install 12.0 version. 

so that's why I want to uninstall it and then I will install 12.0 version after uninstallation of 12.1 version

Hi @LY_10691079 

If you use virtual machine just install new one and delete old one. 

It is easier 😄

Otherwise, remove all services, Windchill, DS and apache.

Uninstall the Database, 

Delete Windchill folder.

Delete DS folder

Delete Apache folder.

PS: remove PSI folder and users/appData/ptc folder where a xml file is located with information about the Windchill installation

My uninstall procedure is rather simplistic.

Windchill Server:

1. Stop any services
2. Delete services
3. Delete the WindchillDS home folder
4. Delete the Windchill home folder
5. Delete the folders specified in Article - CS47990 - How to uninstall Windchill PDMLink On Windows platforms (ptc.com)
6. Run RegEdit and remove all settings that point to the Windchill home folder

Oracle Server:

1. Run the Oracle Deinstall.bat
2. Reboot
3. Delete the PTC folder
4. Delete the Oracle directory
5. Delete Oracle files in the user profile
6. Run RegEdit and remove all settings that point to the Oracle install folder
