How to uninstall GroupWise 24.2.0 on Linux server

Good evening, 

Wanted to start my installation of GroupWise over again, things went beyond messed up, but when I try to run the installation/configuration again it keeps hanging on trying to start the previous GW adminserver, which of course is not there any longer, is there a way to remove the GW software without having to destroy the whole OES 23.4 server? 

I ran the installation which completes successfully but then when I go to configure the second try that's where it is hanging. 

Thank you

    here the directories and files found on my oes24.2 server (since netware6.5, then oes11 and gw5 to today)

    now we must find the other files that not begin with grpwise* or goupwise*!!!

    what is old? what can be deleted or removed?
