Uninstalling on Ubuntu Linux

To uninstal Couchbase Server on Ubuntu or Debian use the dpkg command.

Before removing Couchbase Server:
  • Shut down Couchbase Server.
  • If your machine is a part of an active cluster, rebalance the cluster to take the node out of the configuration.
  • Update clients to point to an available node within the Couchbase Server cluster.

To uninstall the software on an Ubuntu Linux system, run the following command:

> sudo dpkg -r couchbase-server

Refer to the Ubuntu documentation for more information about uninstalling packages using dpkg.

You might need to delete the data files associated with your installation. The default installation location is /opt.

If an alternative location for your data files was specified, separately delete each data directory from your system.
