Uninstall¶

SureDrop is a containerised application composed of multiple services deployed as docker containers. Uninstalling SureDrop is very easy and can be done either using create-suredrop.bat script or suredrop.bat script. The former uses suredrop.bat internally to perform the uninstall.

First open a powershell admin console in your server.
Browse to the SureDrop install directory.
Run the command ./suredrop.bat stop. This will remove the services, networks, and secrets associated with the SureDrop application.
Run the command ./suredrop.bat clean. This will remove all persistent docker volumes and free up disk space.

First open a powershell admin console in your server.
Browse to the SureDrop install directory.

Run the command ./create-suredrop.bat. This will display the SureDrop Configuration Menu. Enter 9 to uninstall SureDrop.

Warning

suredrop.bat clean removes the persistent docker volumes and frees up disk space, however this action cannot be undone. If you want to completely uninstall docker from your system, then follow the these instructions.

That’s it! It’s simple, quick and effective.

Tip

After a complete uninstall always remember to double check that the volumes have indeed been deleted with a docker volume ls command. If they still exist then you will need to run the uninstall command again.
