Did you install it via the RPM package? If so, just type

yum remove logstash

and you should be good.

When I try to reinstall logstash this comes up:` Installing : 1:logstash-7.4.2-1.noarch 1/1
Using provided startup.options file: /etc/logstash/startup.options

Looks like a Java issue: see for example this Github issue, with an almost identical exception message.

Can you check is JDK/JRE is correctly installed and configured?
