I know most have ditched v2 a long time ago, but if anyone needs instructions on how to completely remove the old v2 node software, data, and associated processes, I put up a guide to refresh everyone’s memory (especially mine). > [@Storjshare v2 (legacy) Linux Daemon Uninstall Guide](https://forum.storj.io/t/storjshare-v2-legacy-linux-daemon-uninstall-guide/4470): > > Hi v2 Node Operators, With the official shutdown of Storjshare v2, it is finally time to remove the old software and data. I decided I wanted to clean things up as much as possible, so I found as much of the old installation instructions as I could and removed everything as a reverse of install. While I was at it I decided I would create this guide. I know there isn’t a big audience for this, but maybe it will help someone who has forgotten how this all started in the first place (like me!). So… I am very happy to have been part of it! I learned a lot about linux via the v2 experience. Thanks and goodnight v2! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.storj.io/t/the-v2-network-is-shutting-down/3975)._
