Removing the Remote Access Service

There are a number of ways to uninstall and remove a Remote Access Service, depending on how the service was initially installed, and whether or not it trusts the SimpleHelp server.

Removing a Registered Service

If you wish to uninstall a Remote Access Service that is currently listed in the Access tab you can do so by selecting the machine(s) that you wish to remove and using the Stop action. This will stop the remote service and uninstall it from the remote machine.

Uninstalling using Menu Shortcuts

If the technician installed the remote access shortcuts, you can use the Uninstall Remote Access Service shortcut to remove the installation. Note that it is up to the technician to decide whether or not the shortcuts were installed.
