Verify all scans are completed or canceled.
Uninstall the service.
Stop the RabbitMQ service.
The console command is sc stop rabbitmq
Within the existing RabbitMQ folder, run remove-rabbitmq-service.bat
Delete the existing RabbitMQ folder.
Follow the installation steps in the remainder of this chapter to install and set up the new version.
