Hi. On Ubuntu 20.04, I have [installed the agent](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/packaging/installer/), then decided to [uninstall it](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/packaging/installer/uninstall). I followed the instructions. Now, every day, I am getting: ```auto run-parts: failed to stat component /etc/cron.daily/netdata-updater: No such file or directory ``` Which tells me something wasn’t cleaned completely. Does anyone know the steps I could take, or which program is attempting to run this particular cron? Thanks. ---

Same thing, weird. Any solutions or workaround? ---

This appears to be a bug in the uninstaller code. You should be able to work around the issue by simply manually removing `/etc/cron.daily/netdata-updater`. ---

Thank you! Seems I misread the error message. Indeed this was caused by a leftover link in `/etc/cron.daily` ---

I did that but the server still keeps emailing me that same error code. ---

@Austin_Hemmelgarn I manually removed that file but I keep getting those warnings on my webserver. What else do I need to clean? Would installing netdata and uninstalling work better? Thanks
