To uninstall the 3DEXPERIENCE apps, see
Uninstalling Design with SOLIDWORKS in
Dassault Systèmes User

The uninstall steps also apply to the Render with SOLIDWORKS
Visualize
add-in.
The
installer
for the Design with SOLIDWORKS and Render with Visualize apps
downloads
a non-Java-based PLM Collaborative Services (PLMCSA) client, which enables the
integration between the apps and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This client replaces
the Java-based Integration Exchange Framework client (IEF).

the Java-based IEF client, see Switching to Java-Based IEF Client
in Dassault Systèmes User Assistance.
