# Uninstall Tableau Server Independent Gateway

This topic walks you through the process of uninstalling Tableau Server Independent Gateway.

## Uninstalling Independent Gateway

Uninstalling Independent Gateway is a two-step process:

1. Disable the Independent Gateway instance in Tableau Server using TSM.
    
    To disable Independent Gateway in Tableau Server, run this command at the command prompt of the initial Tableau Server node:
    
    tsm topology external-services gateway disable
2. Uninstall the Independent Gateway instance you are upgrading from the computer it is running on.
    
    To uninstall Independent Gateway from a Linux computer, run the `tableau-tsig-obliterate` script in the `/opt/tableau/tableau_tsig/packaged/scripts.<version_code>` directory. This will entirely remove Independent Gateway from the computer.
    
    sudo /opt/tableau/tableau\_tsig/packages/scripts.<version\_code>/tableau-tsig-obliterate -y -y -y

To uninstall an instance of Independent Gateway, remove it from the server cluster using TSM, and then, after Tableau Server is fully reconfigured, uninstall Independent Gateway from the computer where it was installed. When you use TSM to remove the instance from Tableau Server, TSM no longer sends any communication to the Independent Gateway instance, so Independent Gateway is unaware of any configuration changes. However, the Independent Gateway continues to respond based on the last known configuration and Tableau Server continues to accept those responses. You also need to remove the Independent Gateway instance from the computer it is running on.
