# This will remove LAMP not Site Files.
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common
sudo apt remove apache2.*
sudo apt-get autoremove
whereis apache2
sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2
# This will remove PHP
sudo apt-get purge `dpkg -l | grep php7.2| awk '{print $2}' |tr "\n" " "`
sudo apt-get purge php7.*
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
whereis php
sudo rm -rf /etc/php
# This will remove MYSql
sudo service mysql stop
sudo apt-get remove --purge *mysql\*
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common -y
rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo reboot
You can add custom lines to the install script and mirror them in the removal script as well.
This is just a basic installation to get a site up and running. I use PhPMyAdmin or my Hosting Cpanel to setup the user database for WordPress separately.
