I've decided Plesk Hosting control panel is more of a "Weed" than a management tool as I use RDP and other remote tools, I want to remove it, I contacted support and they said it could make a mess, How would I go about Removing Plesk, and what difficulties could I run into?

Hi,

I've uninstalled Plesk successfully in the past. If it does make a mess I would suggest a full reinstall, backing up necessary files if there aren't too many

Yeah, I noticed the install folder is still there.
Well, as long as it's not an "Unlock the gates to hell" kind of Mess. I shall be uninstalling it, I'll post back with my results.

You should be able to remove the individual services and then delete the plesk folders

I seem to have run into a bit of problem, When I try to uninstall, I get an Error along the lines of "Unable to Gather Configuration data", Then it continues and says It's unable to Install Plesk control panel.
