Uninstalling CycloneDDS
######################

*****
Linux
*****

Uninstalling CycloneDDS on Linux can be established by invoking
the following two commands (of which the first is optional):
::

    sudo dpkg --remove cyclonedds-dev
    sudo dpkg --remove cyclonedds

.. note::
    Mind the order in which these commands are run. The development
    package (:code:`cyclonedds-dev`) need to be removed first since
    it depends on the library version (:code:`cyclonedds`).

*******
Windows
*******

There are two ways to uninstall CycloneDDS from Windows

1. By using the original CycloneDDS :ref:`MSI <WindowsInstallMSI>` file
2. By using Windows "Apps & features"

Original MSI
============

Locate the original CycloneDDS MSI file on your system and start it.
After clicking :code:`Next`, an overview of options appears, amongst which
is the remove option. By clicking :code:`Remove`, all files and folders are
removed, except the CycloneDDS examples (if installed).

Apps & features
===============

Go to :code:`Windows Settings` by clicking the :code:`Settings`-icon ( |settings_icon| )
in the Windows Start Menu. Choose :code:`Apps` in the
:code:`Windows Settings` screen. A list of all installed apps
and programs pops up. Select :code:`CycloneDDS` and choose :code:`Uninstall`.
All installed files and folders will be removed, except the
CycloneDDS examples (if installed).
