Question: How can you uninstall Redis Enterprise from your system?

Answer

Uninstalling Redis Enterprise Software (RS) involves a few steps. Here are the instructions for a standard Linux installation:

1. Stop all the databases: For each database in the RS installation, you need to stop it before you can uninstall RS. You can use the rladmin command-line interface to stop the database.

   rladmin stop db <db:id | name>

2. Remove the RS installation package: On the node where you want to remove RS, run:

   sudo yum remove redislabs

   or

   sudo apt-get remove redislabs

   depending on the package manager your system is using. This command removes the RS software package and leaves the data directories intact.

3. Remove RS directories: If you want to completely remove all RS files and directories, delete the /opt/redislabs directory.

   sudo rm -rf /opt/redislabs

4. Remove the RS user and group: If you want to also remove the RS user and group, run:

   sudo userdel -r redislabs

Please note that these steps will result in permanent deletion of all data, including all databases. Be sure to back up any important data before proceeding with these steps.
