Uninstall MoveIt Pro

Uninstall whichever component this computer has. Removing one leaves the other in place.

Runtime Uninstall​

To uninstall the MoveIt Pro Runtime, but keep your configuration files:

sudo apt -y remove moveit-pro

Full Runtime Uninstall​

warning

This will delete your ~/moveit_pro folder, so if your custom workspace is located within the folder back it up to another location before proceeding!

To completely remove the MoveIt Pro Runtime, including all user created configurations, possible older versions, and Docker images, first remove the package.

sudo apt purge -y moveit-pro

Then delete the workspace and configuration, running the following in your home directory:

cd ~
rm -rf moveit_pro/
rm -rf .config/moveit_pro/

Removing the package already stops the containers and deletes the Docker images for the version that was installed. Images left behind by earlier MoveIt Pro versions are not touched, so remove those as well:

docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' \
  --filter=reference='moveit-pro*' \
  --filter=reference='picknikciuser/moveit-pro*' \
  --filter=reference='moveit-studio*' \
  --filter=reference='picknikciuser/moveit-studio*' |
  sort -u | xargs -r docker rmi -f

This removes only the tags that match those patterns; any other tag on the same image, or on an unrelated image, is left untouched. The moveit-studio patterns match images published under the product's former name, which older releases pulled.

Desktop App Uninstall​

To uninstall the MoveIt Pro Desktop App, but keep your saved Runtime connections, remove the app package.

sudo apt -y remove moveit-pro-desktop

On every supported Linux distribution, this removes the application in /usr/lib/moveit-pro-desktop, the moveit_pro_desktop launcher in /usr/bin, and the application launcher entry.

Full Desktop App Uninstall​

The app's own settings are not part of the package, so removing the package leaves them on disk.

warning

This will delete your saved Runtime connections and the frontend keys stored with them, which you will have to enter again if you reinstall the app.

After removing the package, also delete the settings directory:

rm -rf ~/".config/MoveIt Pro Desktop"

The settings directory is the same on every supported Linux distribution.
