how the frick do i uninstall?

[KaiKama 0]

Going to preface this with that it does NOT appear withing the add/remove progams within control panel, it does NOT appear in Apps within settings and searching every drive i have does NOT find anything to do with uninstalling.

I'm trying to fully remove the server as I've recentrly changed some hardware (cpu/Ram) and now no one can connect remotely, even via the IP address or verified accounts, even i can't connect remotely on my admin accounbt anymore, so thinking a complete restrat reinstall would fix it, but as the rest says, how the frick do i uninstall this damn thing? there's no uninstaller exe nore does anything appear elsewhere, unless it isn't listed under Emby. Attached is both add/remove in control pannel and apps in the main settings of windows 10, as you should see, Emby simply isn't there. note that this is NOT a Port issue, nothing has changed on my router and untill i changed CPU/RAM myself and my friend could connect remotely no problems, literally the ONLY thing that has changed has been physical config, nothing software based has changed.

Did you perhaps install a portable version of Emby Server?

Probably the quickest way to find out is to find the location of the running 'EmbyServer.exe' process. Go to Task Manager, find Emby Server and right-click 'Open file location'

If it is in a location other than C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system then you're probably running a portable copy, which would not show up in Add/Remove Programs.

Or do a installation again.  But everything is self contained in Emby-Server folder.  Only registry setting is the uninstaller.

i definitely did not (i've had it installed for months, maybe even a year? i dunno, just know it's unlikely i chose portable) though this brings this up in C:\Windows.old*************
as i've recently reinstalled windows which seems to create these "old" folders... found an uninstaller but it's telljng me to use programs and features to uninstall

so if i basically reinstall, that should effectively act as an uninstall and reinstall?

No but it should reregister Emby in Windows.  But if you are looking at a clean installation, shut down Emby and delete everything in the Emby-Server\programdata folder and start Emby.

Those files are from a very old installation.  My guess is you installed it a long time ago and then just did updates from then.  When Windows updated, it moved most of your installation - including the uninstaller to that ".old" folder - which it does with programs it thinks are not compatible (incorrect in this case).
