You can uninstall the BlueXP classification software to troubleshoot issues or to permanently remove the software from the host. Deleting the instance also deletes the associated disks where the indexed data resides - all the information BlueXP classification has scanned will be permanently deleted.

The steps that you need to use depend on whether you deployed BlueXP classification in the cloud or on an on-premises host.

Uninstall BlueXP classification from a cloud deployment

You can uninstall and delete the BlueXP classification instance from the cloud provider environment if you no longer want to use BlueXP classification.

  1. At the top of the BlueXP classification page, click More button and then click Uninstall Data Sense.

  2. In the Uninstall Data Sense dialog, type uninstall to confirm that you want to disconnect the BlueXP classification instance from the BlueXP Connector, and then click Uninstall.

  3. Go to your cloud provider's console and delete the BlueXP classification instance. The instance is named CloudCompliance with a generated hash (UUID) concatenated to it. For example: CloudCompliance-16bb6564-38ad-4080-9a92-36f5fd2f71c7

    This deletes the instance and all associated data that had been collected by BlueXP classification.

You can uninstall BlueXP classification from a host if you no longer want to use BlueXP classification, or if you had an issue that requires reinstallation.
