How do I completely remove Canvas from my server?
Is it enough to stop delayed jobs pool daemon and to delete the directory containing the code e.g.
sudo rm -rf /var/canvas
And then delete the "canvasuser"? Is there something more that needs to be deleted. like ruby or node? I'm not a yarn user, so I don't know if installed dependencies locally or somewhere outside the directory containing the Canvas code. Also, are there any other processes related to Canvas (except ruby or node for example) that needs to be stopped and uninstalled?
