Unable to uninstall X-pack

[nuwan (Nuwan Vithanage)]

Hi Team,

I have installed X-Pack in a curiosity to know how it works. Now I want to uninstall it. But I cannot uninstall. When I try uninstalling with these commands:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack

[root@915468-ElasticDemo elasticsearch]# systemctl stop elasticsearch

[root@915468-ElasticDemo elasticsearch]# sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack

-> removing [x-pack]...

ERROR: plugin [x-pack] not found; run 'elasticsearch-plugin list' to get list of installed plugins

[root@915468-ElasticDemo elasticsearch]# curl http://172.24.36.204:9200

{

"name" : "915468-ElasticDemo.newfrontierdata.com",

"cluster_name" : "ElasticDemO",

"cluster_uuid" : "na",

"version" : {

"number" : "6.5.1",

Please help me to accomplish this task . I have gone through the following URL and your official document too.

Cannot uninstall X-pack

what does ls -l /home/suryakumar/elasticsearch/plugins/x-pack/netty-common-4.1.13.Final.jar return? Can the user you are starting elasticsearch with read the file, are the permissions correct? Who is the user you are starting Elasticsearch with?

Uninstalling X-Pack | X-Pack for the Elastic Stack [6.2] | Elastic

The docs you've linked to are for Elastic Stack 6.2.

It looks like you are using Elasticsearch 6.5.1. If that's the case and you're using the default distribution, you cannot uninstall X-Pack. You can apply a license to the cluster however, including a free perpetual basic license.

How Can I Disable X-pack . Please help me to do this

If you don't want X-Pack, including the free features in basic, then just use the -oss version of the packages as they don't have it bundled.
