Navigate to the directory where Tiki Wiki is installed.<\/p>\n
cd \/path\/to\/tiki-wiki<\/pre>\n
Use the rm command to delete the Tiki Wiki directory.<\/p>\n
sudo rm -r \/path\/to\/tiki-wiki<\/pre>\n
Step 3: Remove the Tiki Wiki Database<\/h2>\n
Tiki Wiki uses a database to store its content. You’ll need to remove this database to completely uninstall Tiki Wiki.<\/p>\n
Log in to your MySQL\/MariaDB server.<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n
Drop the Tiki Wiki database.<\/p>\n
DROP DATABASE tiki_wiki_database_name;<\/pre>\n
Step 4: Remove Associated Users and Privileges<\/h2>\n
For security reasons, it’s a good idea to remove any database users and privileges associated with Tiki Wiki.<\/p>\n
Still within the MySQL\/MariaDB interface, revoke all privileges from the Tiki Wiki user.<\/p>\n
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON tiki_wiki_database_name.* FROM 'tiki_user'@'localhost';<\/pre>\n
Drop the Tiki Wiki user.<\/p>\n
DROP USER 'tiki_user'@'localhost';<\/pre>\n
Flush the privileges to apply the changes.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Clean Up Additional Dependencies<\/h2>\n
If you installed additional software or dependencies specifically for Tiki Wiki, you might want to remove them to free up space.<\/p>\n
Use the apt command to remove unwanted packages.<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove package-name<\/pre>\n
Step 6: Clean Up Configuration Files<\/h2>\n
Over time, applications like Tiki Wiki may leave behind configuration files that are no longer needed after uninstallation.<\/p>\n
Navigate to the Apache<\/a> or Nginx<\/a> configuration directory, depending on which web server you’re using.<\/p>\n
cd \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available<\/pre>\n
OR<\/p>\n
cd \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available<\/pre>\n
Look for any configuration files related to Tiki Wiki and remove them.<\/p>\n
sudo rm tiki-wiki.conf<\/pre>\n
Step 7: Restart Your Web Server<\/h2>\n
After removing configuration files, it’s essential to restart your web server to apply the changes.<\/p>\n
For Apache:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n
For Nginx:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart nginx<\/pre>\n
Step 8: Check for Orphaned Packages<\/h2>\n
When you install software on Ubuntu, it often comes with dependencies\u2014additional packages that the software needs to function correctly. After uninstalling Tiki Wiki, some of these dependencies might no longer be necessary.<\/p>\n
Use the following command to list orphaned packages:<\/p>\n
