Chapter 7. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite

7.1. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite on Microsoft Windows

On Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Development Suite includes a new Powershell-based uninstaller in the product’s installation directory (${target-folder}/uninstaller/uninstall.ps1).

Note

Installing Red Hat Development Suite creates an Uninstall Developer Studio option in Microsoft Windows. This uninstaller only removes JBoss Developer Studio, and not any additional components installed for Red Hat Development Suite. Use the following instructions to completely remove all Red Hat Development Suite components from your machine.

The uninstall script removes everything installed into the installation target directory. As a result, previously installed components detected during the installation are not affected.

The uninstaller runs corresponding MSI uninstallers for VirtualBox and OpenJDK. It also cleans up the PATH variables and removes the ${target-folder} folder.

To uninstall Red Hat Development Suite, run the script in one of two ways:

  1. Use the command prompt (cmd) to run the file.

    1. Use the Powershell with the following command: 

      powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File ${target-folder}\uninstaller\uninstall.ps1
      Note

      Do not run the uninstall script from within ${target-folder} or run the ps1 file from the context menu. This results in locking the ${target-folder}\uninstaller folder and the PowerShell script is not removed after the uninstall process completes.

  2. Use the Run with Powershell menu item:

    1. Navigate to: 

      ${target-folder}\uninstaller\uninstall.ps1
    2. Highlight uninstall.ps1 and Right-Click
    3. Select 'Run with Powershell'

7.2. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite on macOS

For macOS users, uninstall Red Hat Development Suite as follows:

  1. Manually delete the installation folder for your Red Hat Development Suite installation.
  2. Follow the uninstall instructions for each of the individual components for macOS to remove them manually.

7.3. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux users, uninstall Red Hat Development Suite as follows:

  1. For Red Hat Development Suite: 

    sudo yum autoremove rh-devsuite
