3. Uninstall Security Agent

The same basic un-install steps apply to all Security Agents.

To un-install an XAAgent:

Login to the host as the root user.
Go to the /etc/xasecure directory for the type of agent you are uninstalling, that is either hdfs, hive or hbase:
```
cd /etc/xasecure/$type
```
Run the uninstaller script:
```
./uninstall.sh
```
The agent is removed from the system.

If the /etc/xasecure for the agent type does not exist, the agent can also be uninstalled using the installation package.

Use the following steps to uninstall Security Agent:

Copy the install tar file to a temporary directory on the host (for example, /tmp/xasecure).
Expand the tar file in to the temporary directory and go to that directory:
```
cd /tmp/xasecure
tar xvf xasecure$name-$buildversion.tar
```
Run the un-install script in as follows:
```
./uninstall.sh
```
