Question
How to uninstall Plesk for Linux?
Answer
Warning: After Plesk uninstallation, some system services may stop working due to their close integration with Plesk. Before removing Plesk for Linux, it is recommended to create a server snapshot to have a system restore point.
Note: Due to a Plesk Installer bug with ID PI-498, it is not possible to remove Plesk installed on Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:
- Debian 12
- Debian 11
- Debian 10
- Debian 9
- Debian 8
- Ubuntu 22.04
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 16.04
As a workaround, it is recommend to redeploy a server from scratch.
To remove Plesk from CentOS/RHEL-based distributions, follow these steps:
-
Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.
-
Run the following command to remove Plesk and all its components:
# plesk installer --remove-everything
