I've downloaded XAMPP from their website. And then manually installed it from my home directory and it is installed in /opt/lampp

I've made tons of changes and I don't remember how to revert back to it's default state, so I need a fresh new clean install.

Besides doing sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop and sudo rm -R /opt/lampp. Is there anything else that I should delete? Maybe from files that it might used from home directory?

Apart from that. Does doing above completely remove XAMPP from my system?

This should remove XAMPP completely as they provide the uninstaller files in /opt/lampp/

 sudo chmod +x /opt/lampp/uninstall
 sudo /opt/lampp/uninstall

Then you can make sure the unistallation is complete by doing user318149's answer above. cheers

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop, sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp and rm -rf ~/.lampp (Log files) did it for me. There is no Lampp/Xampp related configs/logs in ~/.cache or ~/.local/share

This is the full code to uninstall lampp..

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
sudo chmod +x /opt/lampp/uninstall
sudo /opt/lampp/uninstall
sudo rm -R /opt/lampp

You can uninstall Xampp in ubuntu by going to terminal: Ctrl + Alt + T then type:

cd /opt/lampp
sudo ./uninstall

then you get the xampp uninstaller and you can uninstall xampp. but, there are some leftover file in the lampp folder to remove it just type in terminal:

sudo rm -r /opt/lampp

Now xampp is removed completely.

Lampp actually have an uninstaller files in /opt/lampp/named unintaller. Just change the mode using this command

  • cd /opt/lampp/ to enter the directory
  • sudo chmod +x uninstaller to change it into executable file
  • ./uninstaller to run the unistaller file

The default directory for XAMPP is “opt/lampp”.

Open the terminal and type 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

after this type

sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp
