To uninstall ProxySQL 2, the following instructions are based on the package manager.

The Advanced Package Tool (APT) handles the software installation and removal on Debian and Debian-based Linux distributions.

The apt remove removes the packages. Any configuration files, data, and dependencies remain in the system. If you reinstall ProxySQL 2.x.x, the software uses the same configuration files, data, and dependencies. The reinstallation may ask to override the existing files.

You can uninstall ProxySQL 2.x.x with the following command:

$ sudo apt remove proxysql2

The apt purge removes the packages and any configuration files and data. You can also use apt purge to remove packages for an uninstalled application.

$ sudo apt purge proxysql2

The apt autoremove removes the packages, configuration files, data, and any unused libraries or dependent packages that were installed when the application was installed.

To remove them, run the following command:

$ sudo apt autoremove

To uninstall ProxySQL 2.x.x, use the following command:

$ sudo yum remove proxysql2

To uninstall ProxySQL 2.x.x along with unused dependencies, use the following command:
