There's no special uninstall procedure at play here. Uninstall software in the same way as you once installed it, except the other way around. If you installed the Debian packages then use `apt-get remove` or `apt-get purge` and if you ran it by unpacking tarballs delete the directories. Things like log files and ES's data directory could be left behind and require manual deletion.
