[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng uninstallation issue

[Jain, Vaibhav (GE Healthcare)]

Hi,

Syslog-ng client rpm uninstallation even not deleting the syslog-ng.conf
file. All the files and directories are there. Its means syslog-ng is
not removing any file and directory from /opt/syslog-ng

Regards,
V

if that directory is not removed after removing the RPM, it probably
indicates that there are some leftover files in the hierarchy, e.g.
files that were not installed by the RPM package.

After checking that you indeed don't need those files, you can remove
the directory safely.
