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:

Windows

  1. Select Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  2. Select SFDX CLI, and click Uninstall.
  3. Inside your home directory, delete these two directories:
    • .config\sfdx
    • .config\sf

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:

Uninstall a Plug-In

Use the plugins:uninstall command to uninstall a plug-in you’ve previously installed.

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