Hi SUMEERA SHAIK,
It looks like you’re wondering whether you need to reboot your server after uninstalling Azure Data Studio. Here’s the scoop:
Generally, uninstalling Azure Data Studio does not require a server reboot. Azure Data Studio is a client tool, which means that it operates separately from the SQL Server engine. Removing it should not affect the server's operation or require a restart.
However, if you encounter issues with the uninstallation, like it failing or if there are service dependencies, running the System File Checker (SFC) and then rebooting the server might help. Running the SFC command can fix any corrupted system files that could be causing problems with the uninstallation process.
Here’s a quick summary of the steps you might consider:
- Uninstall Azure Data Studio using the standard method for your operating system.
- If the uninstallation fails, run the following command in PowerShell:
sfc /scannow
- Once that completes, a reboot may be beneficial, but it's generally not necessary for a successful uninstallation.
