If the VC Agent or HA Agent fails due to the uninstaller being unable to remove files/folders, and you can't remove them manually, this is an indication that the disk is becoming corrupt.  Especially if installed on a USB key, consider replacing ASAP.
Alternatively, to avoid re-installing the vCentre agent
# Put the ESX into maintenance mode (optional - VM's can be left running on ESX)
# SSH to the ESX server (or use [[#ESXi_Tech_Support_Mode|ESXi Tech Support Mode]])
# <code> /etc/opt/init.d/vmware-vpxa stop </code>
# <code> cd /opt/vmware/uninstallers </code>
# <code> ./VMware-aam-ha-uninstall.sh </code>
# <code> /etc/opt/init.d/vmware-vpxa start </code>
# Take out of maintenance mode
 
If the VC Agent or HA Agent fails due to the uninstaller being unable to remove files/folders, and you can't remove them manually, this is an indication that the disk is becoming corrupt.  Especially if installed on a USB key, consider replacing ASAP.  This is most likely to occur in ESX3 where HA tends to wear the USB key out, this is fixed in ESX4.
