My host asked me to: " You will need to remove all instances of memcached that you have installed. "

How would i go about doing this?

I am on CentOS

  • What are you doing? `rpm -qa | grep memcached`? `find /usr/local/ -name memcached`? – quanta Sep 25 '11 at 11:05
  • Xlima. I am not sure this question really belongs here as this is basic RPM management. There is no real issue here other than your lack of training regarding rpm management on Centos. I suggest review some basic server admin items. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lpic1-v3-102-5/ – jeffatrackaid May 30 '13 at 20:55

If you wish to remove all instances of memcached from your CentOS server use yum to accomplish this task:

Use yum list to check for memecached instances:

yum list | grep memcached

Use yum deplist to check the list of dependances of this package before removing:

yum deplist memcached

Use yum remove to remove the package:

yum remove memcached

  • The first comman you mentioned shows you not only installed instances but also available packets. And you can do it without `grep`: `yum list installed memcached` – gevial Mar 28 '13 at 11:44
  • I just wanted to point out that `yum list installed memcached` is not exactly the same as `yum list installed | grep memcached`. Using `grep`, you are listing **all** installed packages and then only showing lines from the output that **contain** the word *memcached* (so non-exact matches like *memcached-devel* will also show up). If you just do `yum list installed memcached`, only packages with that name will show up (so *memcached-devel* would not show up). – Travesty3 Apr 21 '17 at 05:31

You could to use the following commands

rpm -qa | grep memcached

rpm -e namerpm
