How to uninstall Odoo Print

This article will outline how to completely uninstall an Odoo instance from an Ubuntu VPS.

Step 1: Stop the Odoo Service

You will first need to stop the Odoo service from running on the machine. To do this, use this command

sudo service "service-name" stop

Make sure to replace the "service-name" placeholder with the name the Odoo service was assigned.

Step 2: Remove all Odoo Files

The next step is to remove the entire Odoo repository which will remove all the application code files. Use this command to do this.

sudo rm -R /opt/odoo

Step 3: Remove Configuration files

The next step is to remove all application configuration files that the Odoo instance used. Use these commands to achieve this. 

sudo rm -f /etc/odoo.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/odoo/odoo.conf 
sudo rm -f /etc/odoo-server.conf

The second and third commands check for and remove extra config files that might have been created. The following commands will remove the Odoo startup process.

sudo update-rc.d -f "service-name" remove 
rm -f /etc/init.d/"service-name"

Make sure to replace the "service-name" placeholder with the name the Odoo service was assigned.

Step 4: Remove log files

Next, we're going to remove all of Odoo's log files. You can skip this step if you want to keep the log files. Use this command.

rm -R /var/log/odoo

Step 5: Remove User and User group for PostgreSQL

Use the following commands to remove the system database user and user group before we actually remove the database.

 sudo userdel -r postgres
 sudo groupdel postgres

Step 6: Remove the PostgreSQL Database

The last step is to remove all databases and database services. Use the following commands.

sudo service postgresql stop
apt-get remove postgresql -y
apt-get --purge remove postgresql\* -y
rm -r -f /etc/postgresql/
rm -r -f /etc/postgresql-common/
rm -r -f /var/lib/postgresql/

Congratulations! You have successfully uninstalled Odoo from your Ubuntu machine.
