How to remove unwanted “Features” from your SharePoint site?

By Edith C.

 

Sometimes, when you install, add or activate features on your SharePoint farm, something goes wrong, and suddenly you can’t just go back and “delete” or uninstall your feature.

 

To avoid that, you can use these tools:

 

WssAnalyzeFeatures is a very useful tool, which can help you find the errors on the installation of the feature, and tells you what to do, in order to remove it or fix it.

1

After you run this tool, just check the ContentDeploymentFeatures.txt file, to find the logged errors.

 

Then, if you need to delete the feature, use the WssRemoveFeatureFromSite tool, to remove unwanted features easily and with no complications. Just use the desired featureID (provided by the WssAnalyzeFeatures log) and you are done!

Hope this helps you!
