Goal

The Secure Global Desktop (SGD) Installation Guide clearly states that SGD should be removed by using the "tarantella uninstall --purge" command as per:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E65412_01/E65659/html/remove-sgd.html

If the administrator runs "tarantella uninstall" by mistake. as described in the Administration Guide, when --purge option is omitted, configuration information is left intact as per:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E65412_01/E65658/html/tta-uninstall.html

but binaries, libraries etc are removed.  In such cases, administrators will find that there are still files left under SGD installation path (/opt/tarantella by default) but  the "tarantella" command itself is not available as SGD packages have been removed by "tarantella uninstall" command.

This document describes how to completely remove SGD when SGD is only removed partially.
