- The wizard automatically removes the web application and related services. The databases are retained.
- On the application server, remove the remaining files from the installation folder in Matrix42\.

On your database server, open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, choose the necessary server type, right-click the database name, and click Delete.
Re-installing Matrix42 Enterprise Service Management on the same server with the same set of default database names may cause an error.
