Hi Ken,
Thank you for sharing the link regarding! I am sure EB developers will have this handy –remove command added in future releases of EB and solve all reverse dependency issues. Your suggested approach should very simple and sounds safe. I’ll grep all dependencies. Thanks. Umit ----------------------------------- Umit D.

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 On 13/10/2017 16:55, Sami, Umit D. wrote: 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) ?

(Note: If you have a non-standard setup this may not remove everything) Alan On 12 October 2017 at 16:13, Peleg Bar-Sapir <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello, as part of performing some tests, I would like to completely remove easybuild from my machine (including the python modules).
