## Uninstalling the CLI
|
||||
|
||||
Your uninstall method depends on how you ran the CLI. Follow the instructions for either npx or a global npm installation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: Using npx
|
||||
|
||||
npx runs packages from a temporary cache without a permanent installation. To "uninstall" the CLI, you must clear this cache, which will remove gemini-cli and any other packages previously executed with npx.
|
||||
|
||||
The npx cache is a directory named `_npx` inside your main npm cache folder. You can find your npm cache path by running `npm config get cache`.
|
||||
|
||||
**For macOS / Linux**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# The path is typically ~/.npm/_npx
|
||||
rm -rf "$(npm config get cache)/_npx"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For Windows**
|
||||
|
||||
_Command Prompt_
|
||||
|
||||
```cmd
|
||||
:: The path is typically %LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx
|
||||
rmdir /s /q "%LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_PowerShell_
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# The path is typically $env:LocalAppData\npm-cache\_npx
|
||||
Remove-Item -Path (Join-Path $env:LocalAppData "npm-cache\_npx") -Recurse -Force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: Using npm (Global Install)
|
||||
|
||||
If you installed the CLI globally (e.g., `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli`), use the `npm uninstall` command with the `-g` flag to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm uninstall -g @google/gemini-cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command completely removes the package from your system.
