Hi,  Here is how I recently "decommissioned" and uninstalled my service files from a machine:

Beware: use the rd and del command at  YOUR OWN RISK!

run these from your remote service app or Pulseway terminal;

1. Check for your Support files and remove;
dir c:\PathToSupportFolder\*.*

rd <- remove directory, /s including sub-folders, /q just do it!
rd /s /q C:\PathToSupportFolder\FolderAndSubFolderToRemove
repeat with other sub-folders as needed.
Check folders are removed
dir c:\PathToSupportFolder\*.*
Delete one file:
del c:\PathToSupportFolder\filename.ext

2. If you have your own service files in the User Profile folder:

Check the Username & paste into the "for editing section
net user
dir C:\Users\(User_Name)\Documents\Files\*.* <- list files
rd /s /q C:\Users\(User_Name)\Documents\Files <- removes Files Folder and sub-folders
dir C:\Users\(User_Name)\Documents\*.* <- verifies it is removed
For editing:  copy paste the User found running the net user command here for a quick copy and paste into the terminal, for example:
dir C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Files\*.*
rd /s /q C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Files
dir C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\*.*

The following I have not tested so if someone can confirm it works that would be wonderful!  It would be interesting to know if you could run pathto/msiexec /x Pulseway_x64.msi from the Pulseway Terminal and have it complete but I'm not sure the config file would be removed?

3. Decommission Pulseway monitoring and remove app.
Remove Pulseway Monitoring: Log into https://www.pulseway.com/account/login > locate system and click the x to remove.  (deletes config file on that machine)
    To Remove Pulseway locate the msi:
dir c:\Pulseway_x64.msi /s /p    Of course you would need an alternative means to send the commands to the machine.
