Uninstall OpenCloud with Docker Compose

⚠️ Warning: This guide will completely remove all OpenCloud data. Make sure to back up any important files before proceeding.

Step 1: Stop and Remove Docker Containers​

Navigate to your opencloud-compose directory (where your docker-compose.yml file is located), then run:

docker compose down

To also remove unnamed volumes and orphan containers:

docker compose down --volumes --remove-orphans

Step 2: Remove Docker Volumes​

To check your existing volumes:

docker volume ls

Typical OpenCloud volumes may include:

opencloud_compose_opencloud-data

opencloud_compose_opencloud-config

To delete specific volumes:

docker volume rm opencloud_compose_opencloud-data opencloud_compose_opencloud-config

Or to clean up all unused volumes (be careful!):

docker volume prune

Step 3: Delete Mounted Directories (if used)​

If your .env referenced local folders such as /mnt/opencloud/data, you should delete those manually:

sudo rm -rf /mnt/opencloud/data
sudo rm -rf /mnt/opencloud/config

Adjust the paths to match your setup.

Step 4: Remove the Compose Project Folder (Optional)​

If you want to delete the entire project directory:

cd ..
rm -rf opencloud-compose

Result​

After completing these steps, OpenCloud is fully removed, including:

  • All Docker containers

  • All persistent volumes

  • Any local folders and mounts

  • Optional project directory
