How to Uninstall v12 Community Edition completely

[Anger]

I spent last night installing the Community edition v12 and configuring it to backup my Windows 10 physical PC to a NAS drive.
Should have been simple - Unfortunately Veeam is not working for me and all backup attempts have failed.
I can't spend any more time trying to fix this problem and I need to uninstall Veeam.

I want to uninstall it completely - every bit.
I've read some other posts in the forum about uninstalling, but most were several years old and many versions ago. I'd like to get the correct and most recent instructions for completely removing Veeam for v12 (summer 2023).

If the answer is going to be doing it from the control panel - then where do I start? There are multiple entries under Control Panel > Programs and Features, including:
Veeam Agent for Linux Redistribution
Veeam Agent for Mac Redistribution
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Redistribution
Veeam Agent for Unix Redistribution
Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup Transport
Veeam Backup vPowerNFS
Veeam Distribution Service
Veeam Mount Service
Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications Redistribution
Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication
Kasten K10 Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication
Google Cloud Platform Plug-In for Veeam Backup & Replication
AWS Plug-In for Veeam Backup & Replication
additionally...
PostgreSQL 15

Which one do I start with - do all these have to be uninstalled separately? Is there a preferred order to uninstall in?
Thanks

Hello Anger

In case you want to protect your windows 10 PC, you only Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows from here:
https://www.veeam.com/agent-for-windows ... ition.html

You don't need to install the entire Veeam Backup & Replication product, which is our backup software for large enterprise environments. Veeam Backup & Replication is a good choice if you have many windows pc to protect and you want to have a single management console to monitor those backups. Or if you want to provide a centralized veeam repository for multiple windows 10 pcs.

The order doesn't matter. Just uninstall all components. Don't forget to clean up Veeam folders in the following locations:
- C:\programdata\
- C:\Program Files\
- %localappdata%
- Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam

Best,
Fabian

Can you clarify what to delete from the registry. Is it the Veeam "folder" at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam and all its contents? or just the contents in the Veeam folder?
Under %localappdata% there are two folders: Veeam and Veeam_softwareGroup_GmbH

I would like to try the Windows 10 agent.

%localappdata% --> You can remove both folder
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam --> Remove all folders after you have uninstalled all Veeam components

I would like to try the Windows 10 agent.

Let us know how it has worked for your PC.

Best,
Fabian
