If you are sure yo won't need a particular instance of the Directory Server anymore, you can use the Netscape Console to remove teh server instance from your machine. Removing a Directory Server instance is not the same as uninstalling the Directory Server: when you uninstall the Directory Server, it's program files are deleted from the host machine; when you remove a Directory Server instance, only the selected instance is removed, leaving behind the configuration directory and Administration Server because you require those to administer the remaining server instances installed in the server group.

NOTE: Before removing an instance of Directory Server, verify that the corresponding configuration directory is running.

To remove a Directory Server instance from your machine:

1. Log in to the Netscape Console.

   # cd /usr/netscape/servers
   # ./startconsole

2. In the Servers and Applications tab, select the Directory Server instance you want to remove.

3. From the Object menu, select Stop Server. You can also right-click to choose this option from the pop-up menu.

4. When the server is stopped, from the Object menu, choose Remove Server. You can also right-click to choose this option from the pop-up menu.

5. When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the server instance.

To uninstall the Netscape Directory Server from a machine, use the uninstallation utility.

1. Log into your system as the root user id.

2. Navigate to the directory where the Netscape Directory Server is installed. The default path is /usr/netscape/servers.

   # cd /usr/netscape/servers

3. Run the uninstall program.

   # ./uninstall

4. Select the default, All, to remove all components of the Netscape Directory Server.

5. When prompted, enter the administrator ID and password for the configuration directory to authorize removal of Directory Server.

   The uninstallation utility starts removing files. After the utility has finished removing files, a message is displayed indicating that some files have not been removed from your system.
