The following directories remain after you uninstall Netscape Application Server: Netscape Application Server root directory Any custom directories you created under the NAS directory APPS directory Some Netscape Application Server files remain in the installation directory after uninstalling. These files are marked by your machine's operating system for deletion and are removed when you reboot your machine.
