Removing Plesk from Linux Systems?

steitieh · Nov 15, 2016

I have installed Plesk on my VPS days ago. I no longer need Plesk on the server at this time and need to switch to another hosting control panel to test. How can I uninstall Linux? Will it cause any other issues for my server? or do I need to reinstall my VPS to have a fresh VPS?

In order to install another panel , you will have to reinstall the VPS with fresh operating system to make sure you do not have any left overs , packages , RPMs of plesk.

Its actually a common practice , if you have any control panel installed on your machine and want to install new control panel always reinstall the Operating system , however make sure that you have backed up all your data from the server.

I agree, cPanel is more or less designed not to be removed and Plesk is similar.
Modern control panels integrate themselves almost completely into the base distribution and become a Plesk/cPanel distribution.

Wiping the server and re building is the best option.

You can use the official script to remove Plesk from your server : https://kb.plesk.com/112988
And if you have any issues later, you may have to make a clean install on your VPS.

The procedure to remove plesk panel is too complicated. You need to reinstall OS, with new package.

You could remove plesk using a script, but we wouldn't recommend that. As with cPanel, on Plesk, it's best just to reformat your server and start again... unless there is a reason you can't do that aside from time.
