Firstly, you need to open your Ubuntu terminal and navigate to your redmine directory.

Note: Please keep in mind that in the current example Redmine is installed in the /var/www/html/redmine directory but it is up to you where it is installed, so the path to your Redmine in your case could be different.

Downgrade database

Now, please execute the following command in order to remove the database tables or in other words to downgrade the database.

sudo bundle exec rake redmine:plugins NAME=redmine_agile VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production

Change directory

Please change the directory to the /plugins folder:

cd /plugins

And then list the files with the ls command:

ls

You need to remove the redmine_agile folder.
