If you no longer need a script you installed through Softaculous, you can remove it quickly from within cPanel.

## Removing a Softaculous installation

1. In Softaculous, click the **All Installations** icon (the box/grid icon in the top navigation).

2. Find the software you want to remove and click the **red X** (remove) icon next to it.

3. On the removal screen, you will see options to delete the installation directory, database, and database user. Uncheck any of these if you want to keep them for a future installation.

   If you plan to reinstall the same software later, consider keeping the database to preserve your existing data.
