How can I remove jenkins completely from linux


If your jenkins is running as service instead of process you should stop it first using

sudo service jenkins stop

After stopping it you can follow the normal flow of removing it using commands respective to your linux flavour

For centos it will be

sudo yum remove jenkins

For ubuntu it will

sudo apt-get remove --purge jenkins

I hope this will solve your issue.


if you are ubuntu user than try this:

sudo apt-get remove jenkinssudo apt-get remove --auto-remove jenkins

'apt-get remove' command is use to remove package.


On Centos7,It is important to note that while you remove jenkins using following command:sudo yum remove jenkins

it will not remove your users and other information. For that you will have to do following:sudo rm -r /var/lib/jenkins
