+
+ The default mode in the uninstaller script is **interactive**. This means that the script provides the user the option to reply with "yes" (`y`/`Y`) or "no" (`n`/`N`) to control the removal of each Netdata asset in the filesystem.
+
+ ```sh
+ ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-uninstaller.sh --yes --env <environment_file>
+ ```
+
+ 3.2 **Non-interactive mode**
+

+
+ ```sh
+ ${NETDATA_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-uninstaller.sh --yes --force --env <environment_file>
+ ```
