Uninstalling MongoDB Server

1.On the Linux server where MongoDB Server is installed, open a command prompt and run the rpm -qa|grep mongo command to check whether MongoDB service exists.

2.Run the rpm -e mongodbconfig command to uninstall MongoDB service.

Note: After the service is uninstalled, both the mongod.conf file and all data files are backed up under the /opt/mongodb directory with the timestamp if you did not modify it in the install_mongodb.conf file during the MongoDB installation. You can run the ls -al command under the /opt/mongodb directory to check the backup data.
