Sorry to hear that using OMERO didn't work out for you. If you have
any particular feedback, we'd be glad to hear it.

To some degree, removing OMERO depends on how far you got with the
installation, what choices you made during installation, and what was
already installed on the server before you began.

Assuming you only followed the server steps[1] (and hadn't made it to
the web steps) a basic outline of what you need to do is:

 * Stop anything that's running (bin/omero admin stop)
 * Drop the database (dropdb omero)
 * Remove the installation directory (rm -rf /opt/omero)
 * Remove the data directory (rm -rf /OMERO)
 * Remove any packages that you're sure no one else is using (yum
remove postgresql96-server postgresql96)

Additionally, if you added OMERO as a service, you will need to remove it.

If you have any issues, don't hestitate to get in touch. Additionally,
if you have any notes / logs from your installation, we're happy to
take a look.

All the best,
~Josh
