# Uninstalling the RHEL agent

Remove the PingAccess agent from a RHEL system.

## About this task

* If you installed the PingAccess agent using the standard installation process, uninstall it with the following command:

  ```
  sudo yum remove pingaccess-agent*.x86_64
  ```

* If you installed the PingAccess agent manually with an IBM HTTP Server, uninstall it with the following procedure:

## Steps

   ### Example:

   ```
   rm $APACHE/conf/agent.properties
   ```

2. Remove the following directive from the Apache configuration file, `$APACHE/conf/httpd.conf`.

   ### Example:

   ```
   Include conf/10-paa.conf
   ```

3. Remove `10-paa.conf` from the `$APACHE/modules` directory.

   ### Example:

   ```
   rm $APACHE/modules/10-paa.conf
   ```

4. Remove all `.so` files from the `$APACHE/modules` directory.
