How to uninstall Wowza when installed using the deb package?

Thanks :slight_smile:

EDIT: this works, by the way the package is now wowzamediaserver, the pro suffix has been dropped :slight_smile:

sudo apt-get remove wowzamediaserver --purge

By the way, the rights are a painful by default. What should be the proper rights to assign each folder? I guess it is not safe to run wowzamediaserver as root. What’s the best way of running it?

Thanks
