Why am I unable to delete Splunk from an Ubuntu server?
I tried deleting Splunk completely from the Ubuntu server. I'm able to delete the splunk_home directory, but when I refresh I could see the Splunk directory again. I tried multiple times, but it is still not getting deleted. Under Splunk_Home I can barely see one directory Splunk_Home/var/
Please help me to delete this completely from my system. I stopped the Splunk server before I deleted with /bin/splunk stop

what user are you logged in as, do you have permissions to delete it.
Try doing a sudo su - root before using the rm command.

For sure you might have some process running which creates again files and dirs you just deleted.
Run the below and please provide the result:
cd /opt/splunk ; df .
