Uninstall

To uninstall gnuaccounting just delete the .gnuaccounting directory in the user home directory which will be created on it’s first start to store settings and data.

rm -r <the directory in which e.g. gnuaccounting.sh is located> 
rm -r ~/.gnuaccounting

mysql --user=root -p  
mysql> drop database gnuaccounting;
mysql> delete from mysql.user where user='gnuaccounting' and host='localhost';
