How to uninstall Jenkins?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11608996/how-to-uninstall-jenkins
There instructions apply if you installed using the official Jenkins Mac installer from http://jenkins-ci.org
Execute from terminal
/Library/Application Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command
If the uninstallation script cannot be found, use:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Jenkins "/Library/Application Support/Jenkins" /Library/Documentation/Jenkins
and if you want to get rid of all the jobs and builds:
sudo rm -rf /Users/Shared/Jenkins
and to delete the jenkins user and group (if you chose to use them):
sudo dscl . -delete /Users/jenkins
sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/jenkins
I think that should cover it. Maybe that could be included with the Jenkins installer… But how would people find it? There is no standard place for uninstallers on Mac.
