Uninstall / Remove Webmin Software

Webmin is a web-based system administration tool that allows you to configure various system settings and services on your Linux system. If you wish to uninstall or remove Webmin from your system, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your Linux system as a user with sudo privileges.
  2. Stop the Webmin service by running the following command:
    sudo systemctl stop webmin
  3. Remove the Webmin package by running the following command:
    sudo apt-get remove webmin

    If you installed Webmin from the official Webmin repository, you can run the following command instead:

    sudo /usr/share/webmin/uninstall.sh
  4. Remove the Webmin configuration files by running the following command:
    sudo rm -rf /etc/webmin
  5. Optionally, remove any remaining Webmin user and group accounts by running the following command:
    sudo deluser --remove-home webmin
    sudo delgroup webmin

    If you used a different username or group name when installing Webmin, replace webmin with the appropriate username and group name.

That’s it. Webmin has now been completely removed from your system.
