  3. (Optional) If you opted to install the local database server from within the PlateSpin Migrate installation program and if you no longer need it, use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition.

  4. Ensure that the program directories of PlateSpin Migrate components were removed:

    1. Make sure the PlateSpin Server home directory was removed:
