You can uninstall the Edge Encryption
proxy. If you are upgrading the proxy, it is not necessary to shut down and uninstall the
current version.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

You must have access to the computer running the Edge Encryption
proxy.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Before shutting down the Edge Encryption proxy, ensure that no users are connected to the instance using the proxy.

The encryption proxy running on
Linux operates as a single process. You can end this process to accommodate such
tasks as redeploying the encryption proxy to another host machine, updating the
proxy version, updating the Java version, or changing the unique name of the
encryption proxy when deploying the encryption proxy on multiple proxy
servers.

## Prozedur

1. You may want to save the edgeencryption.properties file before deleting the distribution directory.
2. Execute the `shutdown.sh` shell script.
3. Check the log on the proxy server to verify that the proxy server is shut down.
4. Delete the files in the distribution folder.
