To remove CKEditor for SharePoint, run the Setup.exe file from the installation package. If you use the installer for the same version of CKEditor that is installed in your SharePoint, the Repair or Remove screen will open. If, however, you no longer have access to the installer package, you can remove CKEditor for SharePoint with an installer for the latest version, downloaded from the product website. When this is the case, choose the Remove option on the Upgrade or Remove screen.

Important note: To upgrade CKEditor for SharePoint, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • You must be the SharePoint Farm Administrator.
  • The following Microsoft Windows services must be running:
    • Windows SharePoint Services Administration service
    • Windows SharePoint Services Timer service
  • CKEditor for SharePoint must already be installed.

After you run the Setup.exe file, the CKEditor for SharePoint setup wizard will open. It will guide you through the removal process.
