Uninstalling a Historian Data Collector

Before you begin

Note: Uninstalling of data collectors will clear the registry. If you have modified any of the registry entries, ensure that you export the registry entries on your local machine. Once the collector(s) are reinstalled, you can use the exported registry entries while reconfiguring the registry.
