This guide explains how to remove a Softaculous script from cPanel on Domains.co.za Web Hosting plans.
Softaculous makes it easy to install and manage website applications through cPanel web hosting. However, there may be times when you no longer need a specific application or script installed on your hosting account. Removing unused software can help improve website organisation, reduce security risks, and free hosting resources.
