# Removing a Package from a Spotfire Installation

You might decide that you no longer need a package in your Spotfire installation.

## About this task

Perform this task using Spotfire Analyst.
CAUTION: Take care to remove only packages that you have downloaded and installed. If you remove a package that is installed with TERR, you could cause serious problems with the installation. Likewise, if you remove a package that was distributed by the Spotfire Server, any scripts or data functions that use the package will cease to work, and you will not be prompted to download and install it by the Spotfire Server distribution mechanism. See Troubleshooting TERR and Spotfire packages for more information.

## Procedure

1. From the menu, click Tools > TERR Tools.
2. In the TERR Tools dialog, click the tab Package Management.
   If you are working through a proxy, select the check box Use IE Proxy Settings.
3. Review the list under Installed Packages.
4. Select the package to remove, and then click Remove.
   The package is removed from the list and from your installation.
