Dear Umit,
There's no automated removal procedure yet, see also the discussion in
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/issues/590.
Current best approach:
* try to make sure the module you want to remove is not used by any
other modules as a dependency (grep for the module name in all existing
modules)
* remove the module file
* remove the corresponding software subdirectory
This is basically also what an "eb --remove" would do, with the
necessary warnings on top...
regards,
Kenneth

Hi All,
I have a related question regarding uninstallation process. My
understanding is that EasyBuild at this point does not have an
automated way of removing the previously installed software modules.
What is the current best practice for removing software modules from
easy build installation (assume default install path $EASYBUILD_PREFIX) ?
Regards,
Umit

Hi Peleg,
If you have set the environment variable $EASYBUILD_PREFIX then it
should be as simple as:
rm -r $EASYBUILD_PREFIX
Just be careful to check EASYBUILD_PREFIX first, if it is not set set
the default is '$HOME/.local/easybuild' (I think) so just remove that
instead. (Note: If you have a non-standard setup this may not remove
everything)

Hello,
as part of performing some tests, I would like to completely
remove easybuild from my machine (including the python modules).
Is there a general way to do so?
I couldn't find any relevant info online.
Best,
Peleg
