Remove FindFace CIBR Instance
==============================================

If you deployed FindFace CIBR :ref:`standalone from the installer <installer>`, use the ``uninstall.sh`` script integrated into the installer file to remove your instance.

.. important::
   Make sure to :ref:`back up <back-up-findface-cibr>` your instance before uninstalling it if you plan to :ref:`restore <recover-findface-cibr-and-its-data>` FindFace CIBR and its data later on.

Run the ``uninstall.sh`` script from the ``/opt/findface-cibr/`` folder:

.. code::

   cd /opt/findface-cibr/ 
   sudo /opt/findface-cibr/uninstall.sh /opt/findface-cibr/

You will be asked a question:

Q: ``This script will remove all docker containers, images, volumes, config files and directory "/opt/findface-cibr/?". Do you want to proceed(y/n)?:`` 

A: Answer ``y`` to remove the instance.

In case your FindFace CIBR deployment is not typical, and you are unable to use the automatic uninstaller script, remove all product components manually. The following command replicates the ``uninstall.sh`` script behavior:  

.. code::

   sudo docker-compose -f /opt/findface-cibr/docker-compose.yaml down -v --rmi all 
   sudo rm -rf /opt/findface-cibr/
