I try to delete all modules, but some seems to exist.

Could anyone tell me how to delete completely?

TIA

Hey @Koch ,

If you only want to remove Hailo drivers while keeping other components:

Step 1: Remove Driver Package Only

sudo apt purge hailort-pcie-driver hailofw

Step 2: Delete Driver Kernel Modules

sudo find /lib/modules -type f \( -name 'hailo*.ko' -o -name 'hailo*.ko.xz' \) -print -delete

Step 3: Rebuild Module Dependencies

sudo depmod -a

Step 4: Update initramfs (if needed)

sudo update-initramfs -u

After completing the process, reboot your system to ensure all changes take effect.

Thank you for your instruction.
