| 7        | On this page, you should choose how you wanna delete the Management Point. <br/> You can <br/>- Delete Point, Share, and Service. The Sync Service is not deleted if it is used on other Points, Servers, or Os Deployment.<br>- Delete Point and share. Leaves the Sync service in the system, and delete the Management Point in the database and the share.<br>- Unregister Point in database. This will remove the Management Point in the database, and all of its references. Then you must remove the share manually.  <br/> ![](/attachments/capainstaller/68fc0d34-e889-4503-8a40-dabee9b1d728.webp)                                        |
