Remove FindFace Multi Instance

You can automatically remove FindFace Multi along with the data storages by using the ffmulti_uninstall.sh script. The FindFace Multi configuration files and data storages will be backed up if you request it.

Important

Regarding directories with the FindFace Multi artifacts, the script will back up and clean only /var/lib/findface-security/uploads and /var/lib/ffupload/ (set by default). If you modified the artifacts’ location, you will have to create a backup and purge them by yourself. See Back Up and Recover FindFace Multi and Its Data for reference.

Do the following:

Download the ffmulti_uninstall.sh script to some directory on a designated host (for example, to /home/username/).
From this directory, make the script executable.
```
sudo chmod +x ffmulti_uninstall.sh
```
Run the script.
```
sudo ./ffmulti_uninstall.sh
```
Answer backup to create a backup and then remove FindFace Multi along with the data storages. Answer all to completely wipe out FindFace Multi and the data storages without a backup.
The script purges all content from the /var/lib/ffupload directory. However, the directory itself will remain in your file system. Remove /var/lib/ffupload manually by executing:
```
sudo rmdir /var/lib/ffupload
```
