Overview
Seqrite Endpoint Protection is a security solution designed to safeguard your system from threats. If you need to remove it, for example, when upgrading, troubleshooting, or switching to another product, you can do so through the Windows Control Panel. The uninstallation process requires super admin credentials and follows a defined sequence to ensure complete removal of the client and associated files.
Uninstallation Steps
- Open the Run dialog box by pressng Windows Key + R on your keyboard.
- Type control and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
- In the Control Panel, go to Programs > Programs and Features. OR
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\EPP\EndpointProtection\Admin folder- you will see a file- uninstall.exe
- Scroll through the list of installed applications.
- Find Seqrite Endpoint Protection.
- Right click on the application and click Uninstall.
- This opens a screen asking you if you are sure to uninstall Seqrite EPP.
- Enter the super admin username and password in the Authentication Required screen.
The uninstallation process will begin. The removal occurs in two stages:
- Removing Default Client – The main client software is uninstalled.
- Perform Cleanup – Residual files and settings are cleared from the system.
Once both the processes are completed, a success screen appears. Click Finish to end the process.
Note:
Uninstalling the Control Center also removes the associated endpoint client. Endpoint/license cleanup on the Site Server is not automatic.
Users must manually remove the endpoint from the Site Server to release the consumed license.
Best Practices After Uninstallation
- Reboot your system to ensure all changes take effect.
- Verify removal by checking the Program Files folder. Confirm that all Seqrite folders have been deleted.
- If any folders remain, manually delete them to complete the cleanup.
Note:
On systems where certain Dell SupportAssist components (such as Dell SupportAssist and Dell Support Remediation) are installed, the Seqrite EPP uninstallation process may not complete successfully. If this occurs, uninstall the Dell SupportAssist components and then retry the Seqrite EPP uninstallation.
