Advanced user commands: (To view a full list of available commands for the ESET Uninstaller, typeESETUninstaller.exe /helpor click to view a screenshot):- If you are removing ESET products from bootable media, you will be asked whether you want to remove ESET files from each available partition separately.
- The
/mode=offlineparameter specifies the uninstallation mode for CD and USB drives. - The
/mode=onlineparameter specifies hard disks. Very rarely, you may need to use the/mode=onlineparameter to force the ESET product file deletions if the ESET Uninstaller does not detect your bootable media automatically. - To remove all present ESET products and components (including ERA components) without being prompted, run the uninstaller with the
/forceparameter.
