Uninstall an application removes it from the WAS configuration and from all the servers that the application was installed on. The application binaries (EAR file contents) are deleted from the installation directory. This occurs when the configuration is saved for single server WAS editions or when the configuration changes are synchronized from deployment manager to the individual nodes for network deployment configurations.
