So if you used yum or dnf to install ChimeraX, you should use the yum/dnf to remove it.  And that works if you didn't alter the ChimeraX installation.  To confirm that ChimeraX was installed with yum/dnf, run:

    rpm -qa | grep chimerax

If you have a ChimeraX production build, you will see that the package name is ucsf-chimerax.   If it is a daily build, the package name is ucsf-chimerax-daily.

So in your case, run:

    sudo dnf remove ucsf-chimerax

But it might fail because you did the "ChimeraX_main.py --uninstall".  If that is the case, you should restore ChimeraX from backup, and then do the remove.

Dear Support team,

I am using a ChimeraX commercial license ( RHEL-8 ) but now I am trying to uninstall it using the command 'yum remove chimerax' with and without root privileges but hard luck. I also tried to use 'ChimeraX_main.py --uninstall' from its own directory but again no success.

Could you please guide me over uninstalling chimerax.

Thank you
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. 
Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks
