uninstall xampp on ubuntu using terminal command

Question

I want to uninstall XAMPP on Ubuntu on VM. Please advise command to archive this.

I have downloaded package using wget command and run sudo ./xampp-linux-1.8.3-2-installer.run. How to delete folder using terminal located at /opt/lampp?

Solution 1

As stated in this post:

To Uninstall Xampp, use

sudo -i 
cd /opt/lampp 
./uninstall

But I think you may simplify by just typing:

sudo /opt/lampp/uninstall

Solution 2

Open a terminal and remove the folder with:

sudo rm -r /opt/lampp

That's all.

But since I do not know where you have downloaded the installation file, I can not prove what was also installed.

Solution 3

Simply,

1. Open Terminal

2. Run command sudo /opt/lampp/uninstall

A popup of xampp will jump asking whether you are sure about this uninstallation.

Click yes

TADAA.. It's done.

Solution 4

Open terminal and type the following commands to uninstall XAMPP:

1. Change to the XAMPP directory:

   cd /opt/lampp
   

2. Run the unistallation script:

   sudo ./uninstall
   

3. Follow the prompts
