Note

Using this procedure to remove MarkLogic from your system will not remove user data (configuration information, XQuery files used by HTTP or XDBC servers, or forest content). This data is left in place to simplify the software upgrade process. If you wish to remove the user data, you must do so manually using standard operating system commands.

In case you previously used converters/filters and want to remove this functionality:

  • To remove MarkLogic Converters from a node that has MarkLogic 9.0-4 or later release installed, you can use a package management tool, such as Control Panel on Windows or rpm on Linux, to uninstall MarkLogic Converters.

  • To remove converters/filters from a node that has MarkLogic 9.0-3 or earlier release installed, you need to uninstall that release of MarkLogic, and then install MarkLogic Server from release 9.0-4 or later but do not install MarkLogic Converters.
