Question

How to uninstall Plesk for Linux?

Answer

Warning: After Plesk uninstallation, some system services may stop working due to their close integration with Plesk. Before removing Plesk for Linux, it is recommended to create a server snapshot to have a system restore point.

Note: Due to a Plesk Installer bug with ID PI-498, it is not possible to remove Plesk installed on Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:

    - Debian 10
    - Debian 9
    - Debian 8
    - Ubuntu 20.04
    - Ubuntu 18.04
    - Ubuntu 16.04

As a workaround, it is recommend to redeploy a server from scratch.

To remove Plesk from CentOS/RHEL-based distributions, follow these steps:

  1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.

  2. Run the following command to remove Plesk and all its components:

    # plesk installer --remove-everything

    Fails with the following error on Ubuntu 22.04. I tried 2 different IONOS VPS accounts. IONOS reimage is currently broken, so that's not an option.

    Unexpected 'N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE' caught: boost::filesystem::permissions: No such file or directory [system:2]: "/etc/apt/keyrings/plesk.gpg"
