without providing answers to uninstallation questions.
To Perform a Silent Uninstallation on UNIX
• From the system prompt, run the uninstallation program in silent mode by
typing
uninstall -s
.
If the uninstallation program cannot contact the instance of Directory Server
containing the configuration information for the product you are trying to
uninstall, uninstallation will fail. In this case, no product files or configuration
information will be removed. If you want the uninstallation program to
remove the local product files regardless of whether it can contact the instance
of Directory Server containing configuration information, run the
uninstallation program by typing
uninstall -s -force
.
While it removes files, the uninstallation program outputs some status
messages and alerts. When uninstallation is finished, you are returned to the
system prompt.
