To uninstall a component, use the apigee-service utility in the form:

```
> /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service compName uninstall
```

where ***compName*** is one of the following: edge-management-server, edge-ui, edge-router, edge-message-processor, edge-qpid-server, edge-postgres-server, apigee-zookeeper, apigee-cassandra, apigee-openldap, apigee-qpidd, apigee-postgresql, apigee-drupal-devportal, apigee-drupal-contrib, apigee-drupal, apigee-drush, apigee-php.

For example, to uninstall the Edge UI:

```
> /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui uninstall
```

To uninstall all Apigee components on the node, uninstall the apigee-service utility:

```
> /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-service uninstall
```

This command does not delete any data or log files. It only deletes the components.

If you want to completely remove Edge from your system:

   \> /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-all stop
2. Clear the yum cache:

3. Remove all the Apigee RPMs:

4. Remove the installation root directory:  
   \> sudo rm -rf /opt/apigee
