How can I remove jenkins completely from linux
Solution 1:
If your jenkins is running as service instead of process you should stop it first using
sudo service jenkins stop
After stopping it you can follow the normal flow of removing it using commands respective to your linux flavour
For centos it will be
sudo yum remove jenkins
For ubuntu it will
sudo apt-get remove --purge jenkins
I hope this will solve your issue.
Solution 2:
if you are ubuntu user than try this:
sudo apt-get remove jenkins
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove jenkins
'apt-get remove' command is use to remove package.
Solution 3:
On Centos7, It is important to note that while you remove jenkins using following command: sudo yum remove jenkins
it will not remove your users and other information. For that you will have to do following: sudo rm -r /var/lib/jenkins
Solution 4:
First - stop Jenkins service:
sudo service jenkins stop
Next - delete:
sudo apt-get remove --purge jenkins
If you used separate server for Jenkins, some GCP or AWS - just delete this server. Here is a video how to uninstall Jenkins from GCP Compute Engine https://youtu.be/D2HUFAc_Trw
