# Uninstall Samba

This recipe completely removes Samba from Ubuntu, including services, packages, and configuration files.

## Stop Services

```bash
sudo systemctl stop smbd
sudo systemctl stop nmbd
```

## Disable Services

```bash
sudo systemctl disable smbd
sudo systemctl disable nmbd
```

## Remove Packages

```bash
sudo apt purge -y samba samba-common samba-common-bin smbclient
sudo apt autoremove -y
```

## Remove Configuration

```bash
sudo rm -rf /etc/samba
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/samba
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/samba
sudo rm -rf /var/log/samba
```

## Remove Firewall Rule (Optional)

If UFW was configured:

```bash
sudo ufw delete allow samba
```

## Remove Shared Directories (Optional)

Only run this if the directory was created exclusively for Samba and does not contain important files.

```bash
sudo rm -rf /srv/samba
```

## Verify Removal

Check that the package is no longer installed.

```bash
dpkg -l | grep samba
```

No packages should be listed.

Verify that the service no longer exists.

```bash
systemctl status smbd
```

Expected output:

```text
Unit smbd.service could not be found.
```

Verify that the configuration directory has been removed.

```bash
ls /etc/samba
```

Expected output:

```text
ls: cannot access '/etc/samba': No such file or directory
```
