First make sure no MonetDB processes are running before removing the server. Running monetdbd stop <dbfarm-location> will stop monetdbd and mserver5 processes on that dbfarm. To be sure, you can verify that ps aux| grep monetdb and ps aux| grep mserver show no processes.

If you installed it from the MonetDB repo (as suggested on the website), simply run sudo apt-get autoremove monetdb5-sql. This will uninstall the MonetDB server installed on a Ubuntu/Debian system - removing monetdb5-sql and the monetdb5-server packages, as well as all dependencies installed for them, but no-longer needed.

Any dbfarms will not be removed - the .deb package installer will not seek to delete any dbfarms. As long as the dbfarm was not created in the installation directory. To be certain, you can make a copy of your dbfarm at another location, e.g. in your home directory.
