Uninstall OpenCloud with Docker Compose

warning

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

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

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

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.

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
