📌 Why this matters
Properly removing Tableau frees up significant disk space since data visualization applications store large caches and temporary files that accumulate over time. You'll also clear out licensing information and user preferences, which is essential if you're switching to a different version, transferring the license to another machine, or troubleshooting installation issues. Complete removal ensures your system stays clean and prevents conflicts when installing other data analysis tools or reinstalling Tableau later with fresh settings.
