Romain Bourdon created WampServer, a solution stack for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It consists of the Apache web server, OpenSSL for SSL support, MySQL database, and the PHP programming language. In this article, I will be showing you how to uninstall WAMP Server from Windows. Kindly refer to these exciting guides: How to set Browers and Windows to reopen Apps on Startup, and fixes for Apache errors associated with WAMP installation for TeamPass.
For some reason, I installed WAMP without installing the redistributable. In order not to encounter unforeseen issues in the installation of TeamPass Password Manager. I decided to uninstall and re-install the Wampserver.
If you are looking to uninstall WAMP Server and start fresh with a new installation, here is the quick and straightforward way to do it in Windows.
