Uninstall Vineforce Teams Lite on Windows Using PowerShell

Uninstall Vineforce Teams Lite on Windows (PowerShell)​

Windows  |  Complete Removal

This guide covers the automated PowerShell cleanup of Vineforce Teams Lite on Windows. The script handles everything: stops running processes, removes application files, and deletes all user data including authentication tokens.

One script handles complete removal:

  1. Identifies and stops running processes
  2. Deletes application files from %LOCALAPPDATA%\.vineforce\public\
  3. Removes user data including tokens from %LOCALAPPDATA%\.vineforce\
  4. Provides confirmation of successful removal

No manual file management is required after the script starts.

Prerequisites for Windows uninstall​

RequirementDetails
Operating SystemWindows 10 / 11
PowerShellWindows PowerShell 5.1+ — built into Windows
Existing InstallationVineforce Teams Lite must be installed via the PowerShell script
PrivilegesStandard user — no Administrator required in most cases
warning

Important This script will completely remove Vineforce Teams Lite and all associated data. If you want to keep any data, back it up before running this script.

Step 1: Download the Cleanup Script​

Download cleanup-vineforce-lite-Window.ps1

Save the script to your Windows machine. For example:

# Save to your Downloads folder
C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\cleanup-vineforce-lite-Window.ps1

# Or to a dedicated folder
C:\Users\YourName\installers\cleanup-vineforce-lite-Window.ps1

Step 2: Run the Script with PowerShell​

Open PowerShell and run the script.

  1. Navigate to the folder where the script is saved:

    cd $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads

  2. Allow the script to run by setting the execution policy for this session:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

  3. Run the script:

    .\cleanup-vineforce-lite-Window.ps1

The script will now run automatically — no further input is needed.

What the Script Does (Automatic Steps 3–5)​

Once started, the script runs fully automatically. Here is exactly what happens:

Step 3: Stop Running Processes (Automatic)​

The script first checks for any running Vineforce Teams Lite processes.

  • If processes are found → stops them forcefully
  • If no processes are found → continues to file deletion
⏹ Stopping running Vineforce Teams Lite processes...
✅ Stopped process ID 5432

Step 4: Delete Application Files (Automatic)​

After stopping processes, the script:

  1. Deletes the extracted application folder:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\.vineforce\public\

  2. Removes all application binaries and supporting files

Deleted application folder: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\.vineforce\public

Step 5: Delete User Data (Automatic)​

Finally, the script:

  1. Deletes the entire .vineforce folder:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\.vineforce\

  2. Removes all user data including:

    • Authentication tokens
    • Configuration files
    • Local cache data
    • Activity logs
Deleted user data folder: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\.vineforce
✅ Vineforce Teams Lite cleanup complete.

Step 6: Verify Complete Removal​

After the script completes, confirm the application has been fully removed.

Check for Running Processes​

Open a new PowerShell window and run:

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Vineforce*" }

No processes should appear in the output if cleanup was successful.

Check for Remaining Files​

Confirm the folders have been deleted:

Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\.vineforce"

This should return False if cleanup was successful.

Check Application Folder​

Try to list the application folder:

Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\.vineforce"

You should see "Cannot find path" if cleanup was successful.

Troubleshooting​

ProblemSolution
execution of scripts is disabledRun Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass before executing the script.
Script permission deniedRight-click the script → Properties → check Unblock, then retry.
Process won't stopOpen Task Manager, manually end the Vineforce process, then re-run the script.
Files not deletedClose all Vineforce windows first. If the issue persists, run PowerShell as Administrator.
Script fails mid-executionRun the script again. It's safe to run multiple times as it checks for file existence before attempting deletion.

Manual Removal (Alternative Method)​

If the script fails or you prefer to remove files manually:

1. Stop Running Processes​

Stop-Process -Name "*Vineforce*" -Force

2. Delete Application Files​

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\.vineforce\public\"

3. Delete User Data​

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\.vineforce\"

4. Verify Removal​

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Vineforce*" }
Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\.vineforce"

Best Practices​

tip
  • Stop the application first before running the cleanup script for a graceful shutdown
  • Back up important data before running the cleanup if you need to preserve any information
  • Run the script as the same user who installed the application to ensure proper file access
  • Check for running processes after cleanup to confirm complete removal
  • Reboot if necessary to ensure all processes are terminated and files are unlocked
