The Email Log Database already exists. Do you want to remove it?

Clicking Yes removes the database. Clicking No keeps the database and proceeds with removing components.


	Warning Forcepoint Email Security only: You will lose current email log data if you remove the database. If you want to keep this data, back up the esglogdb7x and esglogdb7x_n databases. See your SQL Server documentation for backup instructions.


	Warning Forcepoint Email Security only: If you remove the database, any currently quarantined email will no longer be accessible. If you plan to reinstall the Email Security module of Forcepoint Security Manager elsewhere to use with the same email appliance and want access to currently quarantined email after reinstalling, do not remove the database.

On the Components Removed screen, click Done.

You are prompted to restart the machine. A restart is required to complete the uninstall process.
