# Uninstalling Wasabi Surveillance Cloud

At any time, you can uninstall the WSC software and any additionally installed WSC components. To do so, follow the steps below.

> If you uninstall WSC, you will not be able to retrieve any replicated files (that only have a copy on the bucket) unless you manually access the bucket. WSC preserves the link between files on the source and the bucket. If you reinstall WSC, you will be able to retrieve all your files from the bucket.

> Uninstalling WSC does not delete the software configuration. To reset the configuration, you must delete the Wasabi section on the Windows Registry using Windows regedit.

1. Navigate to the Control Panel on your local machine.
2. Select **Programs**.
