5.3.2 Component and Device Removal

Files in both /sdr/bin/ and /sdr/xml/ must be deleted to uninstall a component or a device. Move into the /sdr/bin directory.
        $ cd /sdr/bin
Now delete the executable. The file is write protected, so the -f option will not ask you to verify that you want to delete the file.
        $ rm -f COMPONENT_OR_DEVICE_NAME
Now move into the xml/ directory.
        $ cd ../xml/
Remove the directory containing all of the xml files. This command must be executed as root, however exit out of root after the folder has been removed.
        # rm -rf COMPONENT_OR_DEVICE_NAME
        # exit
The component has now been removed. Open OWD to verify the component is no longer available.
        $ cd ../tools/WaveDev/wavedev/
        $ python wd.py
Within OWD, click the arrow next to Components if you are removing a component, or Devices if you are removing a device, in the left pane. Verify that the component is no longer listed. If OWD was running while the component or device was removed, click the Refresh button above the component list to refresh the list of available components and devices.
