uninstall Jira on Ubuntu

[Scott Rouvray]

Hi, I am looking at uninstalling JIRA on Ubuntu server 14.04. I need to install it on another server..

I've tried:

• 'uninstall' from  /opt/atlassian/jira/
• chmod a+x uninstall
  (both as sudo)

I've got my backup sorted but this system needs to be have it removed. Help please!

Please follow the steps 

1. Stop the JIRA using ./stop-jira.sh command by changing directory to <JIRA-Install>/bin

2. Drop the Database.

   For example database name is jiraDB
    
   execute the following command
   DROP DATABASE jiraDB;

3. Delete the JIRA-HOME using following command.

   For example, if JIRA-HOME is under /var/atlassian/application-data/jira-home
   1. cd /var/atlassian/application-data
   2. rm -r -f jira-home

4. Similarly delete the JIRA-Installation directory using above command mentioned in 3

Hope this helps.

$ sudo bash uninstal

```

I don't know if the installer comes with the uninstall command but you'll just need to remove the /opt/atlassian/jira folder and the $JIRA_HOME folder.

Hi Scott,

Simply stopping the process and removing the folders (JIRA_HOME and JIRA_INSTALL), plus your database (if it's on the server and you'd like to get rid of it as well) should do the trick. JIRA Doesn't write any other files.
