Uninstalling Device Managers

  • Last updated on

You can uninstall Device Managers remotely from the Barracuda RMM UI or locally at the device upon which they are installed.

Uninstalling Remotely

Initiating the Device Manager uninstall from the Barracuda RMM UI causes the application itself to be uninstalled, but does leave behind objects in the file system and Windows registry. See uninstalling locally below for more details on these artifacts.

  1. Select Configuration.
  2. Select Site Management.
  3. Select Sites.
  4. Select the Site where the Device Managers are installed.
  5. Select the Device Managers tab.
  6. Select the Device Managers.
  7. Select More Actions.
  8. Select Uninstall Device Managers.

If the device you are removing the Device Manager from is in the scan range of an Onsite Manager, please bear in mind that it might be scanned and show up in the Device List as managed by the Onsite Manager. If this occurs after you have installed the Device Manager, delete the Onsite Manager managed device from your device list and it should appear as expected.

Device Managers can be installed with the option to require a password before the uninstall routine will launch. This option is available in Device Manager Templates to prevent clients' employees from removing the agent off company computers.

  6. Right-click and select Uninstall.
Method 2: Uninstall a Device Manager via Programs and Features
  1. On the managed device, click Start and Open the Control Panel.
  2. Select Programs and Features (or Add or Remove Programs).
  3. Select Barracuda RMM Device Manager.
  4. Select Uninstall or Remove.
  5. Enter the password (if requested) and allow the routine to complete.

If you are not reinstalling Device Manager on the computer, you can remove any trace of the application by completing the two procedures that follow.

If you are receiving a password preventing you from uninstalling and do not know it, please phone technical support.
