This topic explains how to uninstall VMware Tanzu GemFire.

If you installed Tanzu GemFire from a ZIP file, shut down any running Tanzu GemFire processes and then delete the product tree to uninstall the product. No additional registry entries or system modifications are needed.

If the old version of Tanzu GemFire was installed with an RPM, uninstall using the following command:

rpm -e Pivotal_GemFire_XXX

rpm -e Pivotal_GemFire_825

If the old version of Tanzu GemFire was installed with DEBs, uninstall using the following command:

dpkg --remove pivotal-gemfire
