Uninstall Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 using the APT package manager¶
To uninstall Percona Server for MySQL you’ll need to remove all the installed packages. Removing packages with apt remove does not remove the configuration and data files. Removing the packages with apt purge does remove the packages with configuration files and data files (all the databases). Depending on your needs you can choose which command better suits you.
