I've downloaded XAMPP from their website. And then manually installed it from my home directory and it is installed in /opt/lampp

I've made tons of changes and I don't remember how to revert back to it's default state, so I need a fresh new clean install.

Besides doing sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop and sudo rm -R /opt/lampp. Is there anything else that I should delete? Maybe from files that it might used from home directory?

Apart from that. Does doing above completely remove XAMPP from my system?

  • have you looked in your home directory if you have any file called uninstall? some programs when source-installed comes with a uninstall script

  • nope. can't find any of .xampp folder/file either. Although, when i ran grep -l -r xampp ~/. It returns quite alot of directory especially .local/share and .cache/. Not sure if safe or should delete.

This should remove XAMPP completely as they provide the uninstaller files in /opt/lampp/

 sudo chmod +x /opt/lampp/uninstall
 sudo /opt/lampp/uninstall

Then you can make sure the unistallation is complete by doing user318149's answer above. cheers

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop, sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp and rm -rf ~/.lampp (Log files) did it for me. There is no Lampp/Xampp related configs/logs in ~/.cache or ~/.local/share

You can uninstall Xampp in ubuntu by going to terminal: Ctrl + Alt + T then type:

cd /opt/lampp
sudo ./uninstall

then you get the xampp uninstaller and you can uninstall xampp. but, there are some leftover file in the lampp folder to remove it just type in terminal:

sudo rm -r /opt/lampp

Now xampp is removed completely.

Lampp actually have an uninstaller files in /opt/lampp/named unintaller. Just change the mode using this command

  • cd /opt/lampp/ to enter the directory
  • sudo chmod +x uninstaller to change it into executable file
  • ./uninstaller to run the unistaller file

The default directory for XAMPP is “opt/lampp”.

Open the terminal and type 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

after this type

sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp
