HF PanelUninstall
Remove HF Server completely from Windows, macOS or Linux, and choose whether to keep your websites and databases.
Uninstalling HF Server is a full clean. It stops every server and removes everything HF Server added. You choose whether to keep your websites and databases.
Where: HF Server › Settings › Uninstall HF Server…
Uninstall from the app
- Open Settings and click Uninstall HF Server….
- Tick Keep my websites (htdocs) and databases (data) to keep them. Without it, they are deleted too.
- Click Uninstall and confirm when your system asks.
HF Server removes its servers, settings and logs, the trusted HTTPS certificate, the .test lines in the hosts file
and the open-at-sign-in setting. The window closes when it is done.
Warning: without Keep my websites (htdocs) and databases (data), your websites and databases are deleted. This can't be undone.
