Cleaning up After an Uninstall

When you uninstall Jive for SharePoint, SharePoint does not remove the Jive web parts. This is the default behavior because some pages may still contain Jive web parts. However, once Jive for SharePoint is uninstalled, the Jive web parts no longer function.

To clean up the non-functioning Jive web parts, log in as a site collection administrator for each site collection that has the Jive Web Parts feature activated and complete the following steps:

  1. Go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Web Parts (under the Galleries group).
  2. Click the Group heading and filter to "Jive." You should see the following web part files:
    • FederatedSearchWebPart.webpart
    • PlacesWebPart.webpart
    • RecentContentWebPart.webpart
    • SocializeContentLinksWebPart.webpart
    • WatchATagWebPart.webpart
  3. Click the Edit icon for each webpart file and then click the Delete button. You may have to re-filter the Group to "Jive" after deleting each one.
