# Uninstalling
**Warnings**:
- If your server federates with others, make sure to **leave any federated rooms before nuking your Matrix server's data**. Otherwise, the next time you set up a Matrix server for this domain (regardless of the installation method you use), you'll encounter trouble federating.
- If you have some trouble with your installation, you can just [re-run the playbook](installing.md) and it will try to set things up again. **Uninstalling and then installing anew rarely solves anything**.
-----------------
## Uninstalling using a script
Installing places a `/usr/local/bin/matrix-remove-all` script on the server.
You can run it to to have it uninstall things for you automatically (see below). **Use with caution!**
## Uninstalling manually
If you prefer to uninstall manually, run these commands (most are meant to be executed on the Matrix server itself):
- ensure all Matrix services are stopped: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=stop` (if you can't get Ansible working to run this command, you can run `systemctl stop 'matrix*'` manually on the server)
- delete the Matrix-related systemd `.service` files (`rm -f /etc/systemd/system/matrix*.service`) and reload systemd (`systemctl daemon-reload`)
- delete all Matrix-related cronjobs (`rm -f /etc/cron.d/matrix*`)
- delete some helper scripts (`rm -f /usr/local/bin/matrix*`)
- delete some cached Docker images (`docker system prune -a`) or just delete them all (`docker rmi $(docker images -aq)`)
- delete the Docker network: `docker network rm matrix` (might have been deleted already if you ran the `docker system prune` command)
- uninstall Docker itself, if necessary
