Uninstall OpenPostings

Uninstall MSI-installed app (Windows)

Use either:

• Settings > Apps > Installed apps > OpenPostings > Uninstall, or
• Control Panel > Programs and Features > OpenPostings > Uninstall

Accept the UAC prompt if needed and follow the MSI uninstall wizard.

What uninstall removes

MSI uninstall removes installed program files, including:

• desktop app binary
• backend service worker payload
• optional MCP service payload
• Start Menu entry and desktop shortcut

What may remain (optional cleanup)

Runtime data is stored per user in local app data. This can remain after uninstall.

Path:

• %LOCALAPPDATA%\\OpenPostings\\backend

Contains DB, PID files, and logs.

If you want a full cleanup, remove this folder manually after uninstall.

Remove source-based setup

If you ran OpenPostings from source, stop running processes and remove project files:

1. Close OpenPostings and terminal processes (npm run server, npm run web, etc.).
2. Delete the local clone directory when you no longer need it.

Post-uninstall verification

1. Confirm OpenPostings no longer appears in Installed Apps.
2. Confirm Start Menu shortcut is removed.
3. Confirm %LOCALAPPDATA%\\OpenPostings\\backend is removed if you performed full cleanup.
