# Uninstalling the ThinLinc server

Contrary to the installation process, there is no formal server uninstall script. As a substitute, the ThinLinc server may readily be uninstalled via command line by referring to the package ‘thinlinc-server’, using the package manager native to the system. For instance, on an RPM-based system that would entail

    $ sudo dnf remove thinlinc-server

Depending on the Linux distribution, it is possible that some server-related files may linger in `/opt/thinlinc/` after uninstall. To completely purge these, one may freely remove this directory.

However, note that client-related files are distributed in parallel with server-related files in this directory tree. Hence, in the presence of a client installation, it is ill-advised to remove `/opt/thinlinc/` indiscriminately.
