Sometimes Microsoft Windows won't let you delete the Virgo Server installation directory, typically because of long paths
inside the <code class="literal">work</code> directory.
</p><p>
You can return the Virgo instance to a clean state by stopping Virgo if necessary and then running the startup script with the options
<code class="literal">-clean -noStart</code>, after which you should be able to delete the installation directory.
See <a class="link" href="ch07s07.html" title="7.7&nbsp;Cleaning Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat without Starting it">Cleaning Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat without Starting it</a> for more information.
