2. Removing KanBo in the Site Collection in SharePoint

We recommend KanBo to be installed in the individual site collection, not the Root Site Collection with other applications.

In such a scenario, you can delete the entire Site Collection and there would be no need to perform additional steps.

In a second possible situation, KanBo is installed on the Root Site Collection or any other Site collection with other applications and it is impossible to simply remove the Site Collection.

We are introducing the uninstallation steps for these two situations.

Scenario 1: KanBo is added to an individual Site Collection which can be deleted

Go to SharePoint admin center, then to Site Collection section.

Select the Site Collection on which only KanBo is installed and click on Delete.

Scenario 2: KanBo is installed on the Root Site Collection or other important Site Collection which can't be removed

As a first step, please remove the previous KanBo.app registration information.

In order to remove the registration information from the previous installation, enter https://YOURTENANTNAME-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/TA_AllAppPrincipals.aspx (please change the YOURTENANTNAME value to your own).

Delete the KanBo using the X button.

Delete KanBo from the Site Collection

Go to the Site Collection where KanBo is installed.

Enter Site Contents in the left pane or in Settings -> Site Contents.

In Site Contents, click on Return to classic SharePoint link.

Click on button in the KanBo tile and select Remove. Wait untill KanBo gets removed.

Go to the Recycle bin. Click on Recycle bin in the left pane or go to Settings -> Recycle bin.

4. Delete KanBo Subsites

When a Board in KanBo is created, a new sub-site in your Site Collection is being created as well. You need to remove them

You might see there a list of KanBo sub-sites (named after your Boards in KanBo). Enter one of them.

When you enter one of sub-sites, click on the Gear icon and choose Site Settings.
