Removing the Product Installed from the Repository

All commands mentioned below for package removal require administrative (root) privileges. To elevate the privileges, use the su command (to change the current user) or the sudo command (to execute the specified command with other user’s privileges).

Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (apt)

To remove the root meta-package of Dr.Web for Linux, enter the following command:

# apt-get remove drweb-workstations

To remove all the installed Dr.Web’s packages, enter the following command (in certain operating systems, the '*' character must be escaped: '\*'):

# apt-get remove drweb*

To automatically remove all packages that are no longer used, enter also the following command:

# apt-get autoremove

Please, note that removal with the help of the apt-get command has the following special aspects:

1.The first command removes only the drweb-workstations package; all other packages that could be automatically installed to resolve dependencies remain in the system.

2.The second command removes all the packages whose name starts with "drweb" (the standard name prefix for Dr.Web products). Note that this command removes all packages with this prefix, not only those of Dr.Web for Linux.

3.The third command removes all packages that were automatically installed to resolve dependencies of other packages and are no longer necessary (e.g., due to their removal). Note that this command removes all packages that are not used, not only those of Dr.Web for Linux.

You can also use alternative managers (for example, Synaptic or aptitude) to remove packages.

ALT Linux, PCLinuxOS (apt-rpm)

In this case, removal of Dr.Web for Linux is the same as on Debian and Ubuntu operating systems (see above).

You can also use alternative managers (for example, Synaptic or aptitude) to remove packages.

Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx (urpme)

To remove Dr.Web for Linux, enter the following command:

# urpme drweb-workstations

To automatically remove all packages that are no longer used, also enter the following command:

# urpme --auto-orphans drweb-workstations

Please, note that removal with the help of the urpme command has the following special aspects:

1.The first command removes only the drweb-workstations package; all other packages that could be automatically installed to resolve dependencies remain in the system.

2.The second command removes the root meta-package drweb-workstations and all packages that were automatically installed to resolve dependencies of other packages and are no longer necessary (e.g., due to their removal). Note that this command removes all packages that are not used, not only those of Dr.Web for Linux.

You can also use alternative managers (for example, rpmdrake) to remove packages.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS (yum, dnf)

To remove all the installed Dr.Web’s packages, enter the following command (in certain operating systems, the '*' character must be escaped: '\*'):

# yum remove drweb*

In the Fedora operating system, starting from version 22, it is recommended that instead of manager yum the manager dnf is used, for example:

# dnf remove drweb*

Please, note that removal with the help of the yum (dnf) command has the following special aspects:

The indicated command removes all the packages whose name starts with "drweb" (the standard name prefix for Dr.Web products). Note that this command removes all packages with this prefix, not only those of Dr.Web for Linux.

You can also use alternative managers (for example, PackageKit or Yumex) to remove packages.

SUSE Linux (zypper)

To remove Dr.Web for Linux, enter the following command:

# zypper remove drweb-workstations

To remove all the installed Dr.Web packages, enter the following command (in certain operating systems, the '*' character must be escaped: '\*'):

# zypper remove drweb*

Please, note that removal with the help of the zypper command has the following special aspects:

1.The first command removes only the drweb-workstations package; all other packages that could be automatically installed to resolve dependencies remain in the system.

You can also use alternative managers (for example, YaST) to remove packages.
