Uninstall Nebula Graph¶

This topic describes how to uninstall Nebula Graph.

Prerequisite¶

The Nebula Graph services should be stopped before the uninstallation. For more information, see Manage Nebula Graph services.

Step 1: Delete data files of the Storage and Meta Services¶

If you have modified the data_path in the configuration files for the Meta Service and Storage Service, the directories where Nebula Graph stores data may not be in the installation path of Nebula Graph. Check the configuration files to confirm the data paths, and then manually delete the directories to clear all data.

1. Check the Storage Service disk settings. For example:

   ########## Disk ##########
   # Root data path. Split by comma. e.g. --data_path=/disk1/path1/,/disk2/path2/
   # One path per Rocksdb instance.
   --data_path=/nebula/data/storage
   

2. Check the Metad Service configurations and find the corresponding metadata directories.

3. Delete the data and the directories found in step 2.

Step 2: Delete the installation directories¶

The default installation path is /usr/local/nebula, which is specified by --prefix while installing Nebula Graph.
