How to Cancel Proxmox VE

To fully cancel a Proxmox VE product, follow these steps:

Cancellation of Subscription

1. Log in to your client area on the Proxmox website.
2. Navigate to "My Services" and select the subscription you wish to cancel.
3. Click "Cancel." The subscription will terminate at the end of the current billing cycle.

Removal of Proxmox VE Software

To remove Proxmox VE from your system:

• Run the command apt-get remove proxmox-ve. You may be prompted to create a file /please-remove-proxmox-ve to confirm removal.
• After removal, you might need to manually clean up any remaining configuration files or scripts, such as /usr/share/proxmox-ve/pve-apt-hook, if they cause issues with package management.

Additional Steps

• Ensure all virtual machines and containers are stopped or migrated to another platform before uninstalling Proxmox VE.
• If you encounter issues with package management after removal, consider reinstalling essential packages or reconfiguring your system’s package sources to use standard Debian repositories.

Reverting System Changes

If you installed Proxmox VE on a dedicated system, you may need to reinstall a base operating system (like Debian) to fully revert changes made during the Proxmox VE installation process.
