Uninstall MotionBuilder from a Linux OS

Use either the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) utility.

It is recommended you uninstall the MotionBuilder product using the GUI as it is faster and safer, especially if you have multiple Autodesk products or product versions installed on your system.

If you uninstall MotionBuilder using the RPM utility, you may inadvertently uninstall licensing and registration information used by one or multiple Autodesk products.

You can use the RPM utility to erase the MotionBuilder directory from your Linux OS.
