How can I remove jenkins completely from linux

Question

I have deleted jenkins all directories from different folders. But still when I access URL it is showing me jenkins login.

I want to uninstall jenkins completely. Have tried many commands from internet but still jenkins is there on server.

I have only command line access via putty so I tries whatever is possible via command to remove jenkins.

Answer 1

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.
