Uninstall Redis on Mac OSX. Older version is running after installing update

Question

On a mac, how to I find the older version of Redis and uninstall it completely?

I'm using OSX and installed Redis using the following command brew install redis. The version installed by brew states redis-3.0.7.

However, when I run the command: redis-server the output states it's I'm running Redis 2.6.9 (00000000/0) 64 bit. I have no idea where this version was installed from.

I have tried to download redis directly and use sudo make uninstall but got get this error:

cd src && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make uninstall
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
make: *** [uninstall] Error 2

Answer 1

Checkout these directories:

ls -al $(which redis-server)
ls -al $(which redis-cli)

If these binaries were installed through make install from Redis source code you can simply remove them.
