Steps 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Before uninstalling MongoDB ensure that the MongoDB service is stopped if it is currently running. You can achieve this by executing the command:
sudo systemctl stop mongod
remove the MongoDB packages by utilizing the package manager (apt):
sudo apt remove mongodb-org mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-tools
Now, go ahead to remove any remaining configuration files and dependencies. Use the apt purge command to remove the MongoDB packages:
sudo apt purge mongodb-org
sudo apt purge mongodb-clients mongodb-org-database mongodb-org-server
sudo apt purge mongodb-database-tools
If you want to completely remove all data and log files associated with MongoDB, you can remove the MongoDB data directory:
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
_-Be cautious with this step, as it will permanently delete your MongoDB data.

You can also remove the MongoDB user and group if you no longer need them, This is an optional step, if you decide to make use these elements:
sudo deluser mongodb
sudo delgroup mongodb
Remove any remaining MongoDB configuration files:
sudo rm /etc/mongod.conf
Take out any MongoDB ordinary commands and shell scripts:
cd /usr/bin
rm -r mongo*
ls
Cleanup your dependencies by updating the package list and remove any leftover packages that were dependencies of MongoDB:
sudo apt autoremove
Confirm that MongoDB has been removed:
dpkg -l | grep mongodb
