Sophos EM Library: how to delete Central Installation Directories

Issue 
How to remove a Central Installation Directory (CID) and folders.

Sophos product and version 
Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+ 

Operating system
Windows 2000+ Server

What to do

  1. Open EM Library, go to Central Installations
  2. Right-click the given Central Installation Directory, select Delete.
  3. After removing the CID via EM Library, for sake of disk space, you can delete the actual CID directory from the location:
    C:\Program Files\Sophos Sweep for NT\<name of CID>
  4. If you are not planning to recreate the CID, and there are no other CIDs using the same package, you should unsubscribe to it, by going to
    EM Library | Packages | Subscribed. Right-click the package in question and choose 'Unsubscribe'.

If you need more information or guidance, then please contact technical support.
