How to uninstall Jenkins?

This is probably very simple, but I can't find any hint anywhere. So how one is supposed to do that, in general and specifically on Mac?

These instructions apply if you installed using the official Jenkins Mac installer from http://jenkins-ci.org/

Execute uninstall script from terminal:

'/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command'

or use Finder to navigate into that folder and double-click on Uninstall.command.

Finally delete last configuration bits which might have been forgotten:

sudo rm -rf /var/root/.jenkins ~/.jenkins

If the uninstallation script cannot be found (older Jenkins version), use following commands:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Jenkins "/Library/Application Support/Jenkins" /Library/Documentation/Jenkins

and if you want to get rid of all the jobs and builds:

sudo rm -rf /Users/Shared/Jenkins

and to delete the jenkins user and group (if you chose to use them):

sudo dscl . -delete /Users/jenkins
sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/jenkins

These commands are also invoked by the uninstall script in newer Jenkins versions, and should be executed too:

sudo rm -f /etc/newsyslog.d/jenkins.conf
pkgutil --pkgs | grep 'org\.jenkins-ci\.' | xargs -n 1 sudo pkgutil --forget

You are right, it is simple. Run (admin password required):

'/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command'

It may be necessary to do this with admin privileges using sudo.

Keep in mind, that in Terminal you need to add backslash before space, so the proper copy/paste will be

> /Library/Application\ Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command

p.s. sorry for the late answer :)

run this on Terminal:

sh "/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command"

There is no uninstaller. Therefore, you need to:

• Delete the directory containing Jenkins (or, if you're deploying the war -- remove the war from your container).

• Remove ~/.jenkins.

• Remove you startup scripts.

My Jenkins version: 1.5.39

Execute steps:

Step 1. Go to folder /Library/Application Support/Jenkins

Step 2. Run Uninstall.command jenkins-runner.sh file.

Step 3. Check result.

It work for me.

Run the following commands to completely uninstall Jenkins from MacOS Sierra. You don't need to change anything, just run these commands.

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Jenkins '/Library/Application Support/Jenkins' /Library/Documentation/Jenkins
sudo rm -rf /Users/Shared/Jenkins
sudo rm -rf /var/log/jenkins
sudo rm -f /etc/newsyslog.d/jenkins.conf
sudo dscl . -delete /Users/jenkins
sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/jenkins
pkgutil --pkgs
grep 'org\.jenkins-ci\.'
xargs -n 1 sudo pkgutil --forget

On Mac; these two below commands completely remove Jenkins from your machine. just open your Terminal and execute them:

1. '/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command' and
2. sudo rm -rf /var/root/.jenkins ~/.jenkins
