In the latest versions of HPSync (12.53 SP1 and SP2) HP has been re-branded to ''HPE''.
HPE is still deploying their JIRA adapter now with the base product. This pre-installed adapter sometimes conflicts with 3rd-party/custom adapters.
The Adapterslib folder is the SAME in HPE-sync 12.53 SP1 as seen in

.
.
**But** in 12.53 SP2, it is a little different and contains many more files (87 instead of 13).
The removal of the HPE-JIRA Adapter is almost the same, though.
1) Delete the ...adaptersdatJIRA folder
2) Delete the jira-adapter.jar file from the ...adapterslib folder
3) Delete the httpcore-nio-4.1.3.jar, httpmime-4.1.2.jar files from the ...adapterslib folder
4) Stop, then Start the ''HP Application Lifecycle Management Synchronizer'' service and the HP JIRA Adapter will be gone.
