Complete!


And we can run this command:
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/vesta.repo

For Debian/Ubuntu : We can use the following commands.

apt-get remove vesta*
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vesta.list

Step – 4: Delete data directory and cron.

We want to remove /usr/local/vesta folder by using the below command.

rm -rf /usr/local/vesta

We have to remove the cron jobs for the user admin.
Let’s list first the cron jobs by using the below command.
crontab -u admin -l

[root@testing]# crontab -u admin -l
MAILTO=info@pheonixsolutions.com
CONTENT_TYPE="text/plain; charset=utf-8"
15 02 * * * sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-queue disk

03 3 * * * sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-letsencrypt-ssl
[root@testing]#

Remove the cron jobs. Save and exit.

crontab -u admin -e
