Uninstall Salesforce CLI or Plug-ins

Uninstalling Salesforce CLI removes it entirely from your computer.

macOS or Linux

Enter all these commands in a terminal:

1sudo rm -rf /usr/local/sfdx
2sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/sfdx
3sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/sfdx
4sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/sfdx ~/.config/sfdx ~/.cache/sfdx
5sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/sfdx

Windows

  1. Select Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  2. Select SFDX CLI, and click Uninstall.
  3. Inside your home directory, delete the .config\sfdx directory.

If the CLI is still installed, delete the %LOCALAPPDATA%\sfdx directory in Program Files.

npm

If you installed Salesforce CLI with npm, uninstall it with this command:

1npm uninstall sfdx-cli --global

Uninstall a Plug-In

Let’s say that you previously installed a specific version of the auth supporting plug-in, but now you want to go back to the latest version. Uninstalling the plug-in takes you back to the core version that’s bundled with the CLI. Enter this command from a terminal or Windows command prompt:

1sfdx plugins:uninstall auth

If the plug-in is standalone and not bundled with the CLI, then uninstalling it removes it from the CLI.
