# How to Fully Uninstall the Origin Agent from Windows

> Remove the Origin agent from Windows using msiexec, then manually delete the Origin data folder at C:\ProgramData\Origin to fully clean up the endpoint.

Uninstalling the Origin agent on Windows is a two-step process: first remove the agent using `msiexec.exe`, then manually delete the data folder that the uninstaller leaves behind.

## Step 1 — Remove the agent with msiexec

Run the following command in an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell session, replacing `x.y.z` with the version number of the MSI used to install the agent. The installer filename follows the pattern `origin-installer-<version>-windows-x64.msi`.

```bat theme={null}
msiexec.exe /X origin-installer-x.y.z-windows-x64.msi /quiet /norestart
```

Wait for the command to complete before proceeding.

## Step 2 — Delete the Origin data folder

The uninstaller does not remove the Origin data directory. After the uninstall completes, delete the following folder manually to fully clean up the endpoint:

```
C:\ProgramData\Origin
```

You can delete this folder in File Explorer or using an elevated PowerShell session:

```powershell theme={null}
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "C:\ProgramData\Origin"
```

<Tip>
  After uninstalling, the endpoint will stop appearing as active in the Origin console. If you want to confirm removal immediately, check the **Registered Endpoints** list — the endpoint's status will stop updating once the agent is no longer running.
