-There are two piping methods, Email Forwarder and POP3 Import. If you were using the POP3 Import method, you will want to delete the cron job configured to run the pop.php file. If instead you were using the Email Forwarder method, then you'll want to delete any forwarders configured to pipe email to the pipe.php file.

-There are times when a user has the need to remove WHMCS from their system.
+==Overview==
-This can be achieved by following 5 small steps:
+Should you need to uninstall WHMCS from your web server, then this can be accomplished by removing the files, data, and cron jobs that make up the installation. We have put together a short guide below which can aide in accomplishing this.
-#Take a backup of the database and configuration.php file.  You may need these at a later date should you want to start using WHMCS again.
+<div class="docs-alert-danger">
-#Remove all the related files and folders of WHMCS from your server. Below you will find a list of relevant folders/files to remove should you be unsure.
+<span class="title">Note:</span> Before removing WHMCS entirely, we recommend first backing up the configuration.php file and database as per the [[Backups#Manual_Database_Backup|Manual Database Backup]] guide. These backups can be used to restore WHMCS should you wish to continue using it in the future. More information about this can be found on the [[Restoring_WHMCS|Restoring WHMCS]] documentation page.
