Fix Recommendation

Only applications that are required for the functioning and administration, not use of, MarkLogic should be located in the same disk directory as the MarkLogic software libraries. Review the MarkLogic software library directories /opt/MarkLogic and /var/opt/MarkLogic and note other root directories located on the same disk directory or any subdirectories.

Remove any other applications, including third-party applications that use MarkLogic that are not approved by Org Policy.

At a command prompt on the MarkLogic system, run the following commands:
If the software was installed via yum/rpm
> sudo yum remove [Software-Package-Name]
If the software was installed via unzip/untar.
> sudo rm -r [/path/to/unauthorized/software]
