# Removing secondary Geo sites **(PREMIUM SELF)**
**Secondary** sites can be removed from the Geo cluster using the Geo administration page of the **primary** site. To remove a **secondary** site:
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Geo > Nodes**.
1. Select the **Remove** button for the **secondary** site you want to remove.
1. Confirm by selecting **Remove** when the prompt appears.
After the **secondary** site is removed from the Geo administration page, you must
stop and uninstall this site. For each node on your secondary Geo site:
1. Stop GitLab:
```shell
sudo gitlab-ctl stop
```
1. Uninstall GitLab:
```shell
# Stop gitlab and remove its supervision process
sudo gitlab-ctl uninstall
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dpkg --remove gitlab-ee
# Redhat/Centos
sudo rpm --erase gitlab-ee
```
When GitLab has been uninstalled from each node on the **secondary** site, the replication slot must be dropped from the **primary** site's database as follows:
1. On the **primary** site's database node, start a PostgreSQL console session:
```shell
sudo gitlab-psql
```
NOTE:
Using `gitlab-rails dbconsole` does not work, because managing replication slots requires superuser permissions.
1. Find the name of the relevant replication slot. This is the slot that is specified with `--slot-name` when running the replicate command: `gitlab-ctl replicate-geo-database`.
```sql
SELECT * FROM pg_replication_slots;
```
1. Remove the replication slot for the **secondary** site:
```sql
SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot('<name_of_slot>');
```
