jafnva if you want to keep the current content then you will need to migrate the content from SharePoint 2013 to 2019. There are two approaches you can take:
- Content Database migration (you must migrate to SP2016 and then SP2019)
- Use a migration tool to move the content e.g. ShareGate or similar tools can be do this
Microsoft has a guide for uninstalling SP2013 but you might be better just archiving the environment for a while, especially if you think you may need to get something back from it in the future.

- Steve,
Thanks for your response. I'll confirm that we no longer need any of the data/sites and if that is the case I'll remove SP2013 then install SP2019.
Thanks again,
John
