UJAM App Uninstall Feature

The easiest way of uninstalling a plugin is via the UJAM App:

• Open the App settings and check if you're using the most recent UJAM App version (at least 0.3.8)
  
• Find the product you'd like to uninstall and click on the three dots, then on ‘Uninstall‘:
  
• You will now be asked to enter your admin credentials:
  
• Enter your credentials and then the plugin will get uninstalled immediately.
  Done! ✔︎

 

If you're not using the UJAM App, you need to remove all the plugin files from your system manually.
