>19. Removing DB2 Express-C</H1
><P
>Uninstalling DB2 Express-C is a bit more detailed than the installation
process. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no GUI-based uninstaller
utility like there is for installation. Follow the steps below to completely
remove the DB2 Express-C software from your system. Since the database files
are kept in the home directory of the instance user, you can keep the database
files by skipping the removal of the instance owner (the last step).</P

>Remove the Database Administration Server. Switch to the DAS owner
(dasusr1 by default), either through the <B
CLASS="command"
>su - dasusr1</B

command or by logging in to the system directly as the DAS user, and issue
the command <B
CLASS="command"
>db2admin stop</B
>. Then switch to the root
user, and issue the
<B
CLASS="command"
>/opt/ibm/db2/V9.1/instance/dasdrop</B

issue the command <B

refers to the actual instance name you want to drop (for example,
/opt/ibm/db2/V9.1/instance/db2idrop db2inst1). If you want to verify which
instances are present on your system, run the
