Uninstalling API Mediation Layer

You can uninstall API Mediation Layer when you no longer want to use the product.

Note: Be aware of the following considerations:

You might need super-user authority to run this command.
You must identify the API Mediation installation directory correctly. Running a recursive remove command with the incorrect directory name can delete critical files.

Follow these steps:

Stop your API Mediation Layer services using the following command:
```
C ZOWESVR
```
Delete the ZOWESVR member from your system PROCLIB data set.

Remove RACF® (or equivalent) definitions using the following command:

RDELETE STARTED (ZOWESVR.*)
SETR RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH
REMOVE (userid) GROUP(IZUUSER)

Delete the z/OS® UNIX™ System Services API Mediation Layer directory and files from the API Mediation Layer installation directory using the following command:
```
rm -R /var/zowe_install_directory/api-mediation #*Zowe Installation Directory*
```
