# Stopping and Uninstalling Anaconda Server

## Stopping Anaconda Server

To stop your containers, run the following command. This action will not remove your containers, but simply stop them:

```sh theme={null}
docker-compose stop
```

To start your containers, run the following command:

```sh theme={null}
docker-compose up
```

## Uninstalling Anaconda Server

<Warning>
  Make sure you [back up](./restore) logs, the artifacts database, and the postgres database before uninstalling.
</Warning>

To remove Anaconda Server package data, log in with the same user profile you used to install Anaconda Server and run the following commands in the terminal where Anaconda Server is installed:

```sh theme={null}
# Replace x.x.x with your current version of Anaconda Server
cd ate-x.x.x-installer
docker-compose down
rm -rf /opt/anaconda/repo
```

To perform a complete uninstall that deletes both the Anaconda Server application and configuration (as opposed to just deleting package data), run the following command as well:

```sh theme={null}
# Replace x.x.x with your current version of Anaconda Server
rm -rf ~/ate-x.x.x-installer
```
