Uninstalling

Desktop Client can be uninstalled without removing existing configuration files.

Procedure

  1. If you are uninstalling in order to upgrade your Aspera® product, review the upgrade preparation steps in Upgrading or rolling back Desktop Client.
  2. Close or stop the following applications and services:
    • FASP® transfers.
    • SSH connections.
  3. Uninstall by running the following command: 
    $ rpm -e ibm-aspera-Asperascp-client
    Platform Command
    Red Hat®, CentOS 
    # rpm -e aspera-Asperascp-client
    Debian 
    # dpkg -P aspera-Asperascp-client

What to do next
