[Rafael Sperafico]

Hello Charles,

Thank you for your inquire.

In order to uninstall Bamboo, please:

1. go to <bamboo-install> directory by running the following command from Terminal:

   $ cd /path/to/<bamboo-install>

2. run the following command from Terminal to stop Bamboo:

   $ ./bin/stop-bamboo.sh

   It might take a while (seconds) until Bamboo's process ends

3. make sure the service has stopped by running the following from Terminal:

   $ ps aux | grep bamboo
   USERNAME        667   0.0  0.0  2434836    764 s000  S+    9:45PM   0:00.00 grep bamboo

   If you receive more than one entry as follow:

   $ ps aux | grep bamboo
   USERNAME        718 144.0  1.2  4274544 101324 s000  U     9:47PM   0:02.44 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms256m -Xmx384m -Djavax.net.debug=info  -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7/endorsed -classpath /path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7 -Dcatalina.home=/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/path/to/atlassian-bamboo-5.9.7/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
   USERNAME        667   0.0  0.0  2434836    764 s000  S+    9:45PM   0:00.00 grep bamboo

   Please 'kill' Bamboo's process:
   

   $ kill -9 718
   // please, notice 718 is the process where Bamboo is running and this value might change in your case

4. go to <bamboo-install>/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties and take note of 'bamboo.home' value
5. delete <bamboo-install> directory
6. delete <bamboo-home> directory

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.
