Uninstall Plone/Zope

Question

I am testing different CMSs, and installed Plone 4 in my server. It is not my chosen one, and I now can´t find a way to uninstall it. I would like a full uninstall.

Answer 1

If you used the Unified Installer, you simply delete the directory and you are done. Plone does not install anything outside of that.

If you used another method to install Plone, you'll need to give more details than that, including the OS you installed it on.

Answer 2

Just for the record - if you installed Plone on Windows with the official Plone Installer for Windows (ie, downloaded from plone.org), you should use the "Add/Remove Programs" entry for Plone. Simply deleting the Plone folder won't remove the Start Menu shortcuts or the Windows Service for the Zope Server.

Answer 3

If you've done a ZEO install, you may want to remove the group 'plone_group', and the users 'plone_buildout', and 'plone_daemon'. Just some more advice for cleaning Plone off your system...
