# Uninstall Netdata
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ If you're having trouble updating Netdata, moving from one installation method to another, or generally having
|
|
> issues with your Netdata Agent installation, consider our [**reinstall Netdata**
|
|
> doc](/packaging/installer/REINSTALL.md) instead of removing the Netdata Agent entirely.
|
|
|
|
Our self-contained uninstaller is able to remove Netdata installations created with shell installer. It doesn't need any
|
|
other Netdata repository files to be run. All it needs is an `.environment` file, which is created during installation
|
|
(with shell installer) and put in `${NETDATA_USER_CONFIG_DIR}/.environment` (by default `/etc/netdata/.environment`).
|
|
That file contains some parameters which are passed to our installer and which are needed during uninstallation process.
|
|
Mainly two parameters are needed:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
NETDATA_PREFIX
|
|
NETDATA_ADDED_TO_GROUPS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A workflow for uninstallation looks like this:
|
|
|
|
1. Find your `.environment` file, which is usually `/etc/netdata/.environment` in a default installation.
|
|
2. If you cannot find that file and would like to uninstall Netdata, then create a new file with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
NETDATA_PREFIX="<installation prefix>" # put what you used as a parameter to shell installed `--install` flag. Otherwise it should be empty
|
|
NETDATA_ADDED_TO_GROUPS="<additional groups>" # Additional groups for a user running the Netdata process
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run `netdata-uninstaller.sh` as follows
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-uninstaller.sh --yes --env <environment_file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: Existing installations may still need to download the file if it's not present. To execute uninstall in that case,
|
|
run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/packaging/installer/netdata-uninstaller.sh
|
|
chmod +x ./netdata-uninstaller.sh
|
|
./netdata-uninstaller.sh --yes --env <environment_file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The default `environment_file` is `/etc/netdata/.environment`.
|
|
|
|
> Note: This uninstallation method assumes previous installation with `netdata-installer.sh` or the kickstart script.
|
|
> Currently using it when Netdata was installed by a package manager can work or cause unexpected results.
