Uninstallation (Linux)

If you do not need MindStudioIDE and Ascend-CANN-Toolkit anymore, uninstall them as follows. If you uninstall the Toolkit only, other MindStudio IDE functions may be unavailable. Exercise caution when uninstalling the Toolkit. If you want to upgrade Ascend-CANN-Toolkit, refer to "Basic Operations > CANN Manager" in the MindStudio IDE User Guide to install its latest version.

Manually Uninstalling MindStudio IDE

Remove the MindStudio directory from the $HOME directory in Linux as the MindStudio IDE installation user. (The directory is generated after the extraction of the MindStudio IDE tar.gz package.)

The deletion command is as follows:

rm -rf MindStudio
Uninstalling MindStudio IDE does not delete data in the following directories:
  • $HOME/.cache/Huawei/MindStudioMS-{version}: stores runtime logs generated after MindStudio IDE is installed and launched.
  • $HOME/.config/Huawei/MindStudioMS-{version}: stores user configurations.
  • $HOME/.local/share/Huawei/MindStudioMS-{version}: stores user plugin information.
  • $HOME/.mindstudio: stores the records of operations performed by users in the MindStudio IDE privacy statement window.
  • MindStudioProjects: projects created by the user.
To restore the initial MindStudio IDE configuration, run the following commands as the MindStudio IDE installation user in the $HOME directory to delete the user configurations:
rm -rf .cache/Huawei/MindStudioMS-x.x/
rm -rf .config/Huawei/MindStudioMS-x.x/
rm -rf .local/share/Huawei/MindStudioMS-x.x/
rm -rf .mindstudio/
rm -rf {Path_of_the_created_project}
