I want to remove or delete the chaincode on a peer. How can I do this?

Answer 1

To remove a chaincode on a peer you need to:

• Kill the container that corresponds to the chaincode shim since a chaincode runs inside a docker container.

• Delete the chaincode from the file system of the peer under /var/hyperledger/production/chaincodes
