Uninstall an On-Premises Scan Engine

To remove an on-premise Scan Engine, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Run the InsightAppSec Uninstaller
  2. Delete the Engine from the Manage On-Premise Engines screen

Run the InsightAppSec Uninstaller

  1. Navigate to the Rapid7 > InsightAppSec folder, which is usually located at Program Files\Rapid7\InsightAppSec.
  2. Right-click the uninstall_InsightAppSec.exe tool and select Run as Administrator.
