Uninstalling WFA Desktop

Programmatic Removal of WFA

This method allows the user to remove WFA Desktop using the built-in uninstaller, then check for any remaining folders or output files. Use this method when:

  • the app still appears in your installed apps

  • the uninstaller launches normally

  • you want the fastest removal path

  1. Open Windows Settings
    Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps.

  2. Find the WFA application
    In the installed apps list, locate the client (e.g. Wildfire Analyst Pro)

Client name may vary.

  1. Run the uninstall
    Select the dropdown next to the app and choose Uninstall.

  2. Verify the installation folder
    Open File Explorer and browse to the WFA install location, for example:
    C:\Program Files\WFAEnterprise\

    Check that the files have been removed. The application should also have disappeared from your installed apps.

  3. Review local app data
    Open:
    C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\WFAEnterpriseData
    If you want a full cleanup, remove this data after confirming you no longer need saved settings, caches, or project-specific local data.
