summary: "Uninstall Moltbot completely (CLI, service, state, workspace)"
|
|
read_when:
|
|
- You want to remove Moltbot from a machine
|
|
- The gateway service is still running after uninstall
|

# Uninstall
|
|
|
|
Two paths:
|
|
- **Easy path** if `moltbot` is still installed.
|
|
- **Manual service removal** if the CLI is gone but the service is still running.
|
|
|
|
## Easy path (CLI still installed)
|
|
|
|
Recommended: use the built-in uninstaller:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
moltbot uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Non-interactive (automation / npx):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
moltbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
|
|
npx -y moltbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Manual steps (same result):
|
|
|
|
1) Stop the gateway service:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
moltbot gateway stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2) Uninstall the gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
moltbot gateway uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3) Delete state + config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf "${CLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.clawdbot}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you set `CLAWDBOT_CONFIG_PATH` to a custom location outside the state dir, delete that file too.
|
|
|
|
4) Delete your workspace (optional, removes agent files):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf ~/clawd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5) Remove the CLI install (pick the one you used):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm rm -g moltbot
|
|
pnpm remove -g moltbot
|
|
bun remove -g moltbot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6) If you installed the macOS app:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf /Applications/Moltbot.app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- If you used profiles (`--profile` / `CLAWDBOT_PROFILE`), repeat step 3 for each state dir (defaults are `~/.clawdbot-<profile>`).
|
|
- In remote mode, the state dir lives on the **gateway host**, so run steps 1-4 there too.
|
|
|
|
## Manual service removal (CLI not installed)
|
|
|
|
Use this if the gateway service keeps running but `moltbot` is missing.
|
|
|
|
### macOS (launchd)
|
|
|
|
Default label is `com.clawdbot.gateway` (or `com.clawdbot.<profile>`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
launchctl bootout gui/$UID/com.clawdbot.gateway
|
|
rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.gateway.plist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you used a profile, replace the label and plist name with `com.clawdbot.<profile>`.
|
|
|
|
### Linux (systemd user unit)
|
|
|
|
Default unit name is `moltbot-gateway.service` (or `moltbot-gateway-<profile>.service`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemctl --user disable --now moltbot-gateway.service
|
|
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/moltbot-gateway.service
|
|
systemctl --user daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows (Scheduled Task)
|
|
|
|
Default task name is `Moltbot Gateway` (or `Moltbot Gateway (<profile>)`).
|
|
The task script lives under your state dir.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
schtasks /Delete /F /TN "Moltbot Gateway"
|
|
Remove-Item -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.clawdbot\gateway.cmd"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you used a profile, delete the matching task name and `~\.clawdbot-<profile>\gateway.cmd`.
|
|
|
|
## Normal install vs source checkout
|
|
|
|
### Normal install (install.sh / npm / pnpm / bun)
|
|
|
|
If you used `https://molt.bot/install.sh` or `install.ps1`, the CLI was installed with `npm install -g moltbot@latest`.
|
|
Remove it with `npm rm -g moltbot` (or `pnpm remove -g` / `bun remove -g` if you installed that way).
|
|
|
|
### Source checkout (git clone)
|
|
|
|
If you run from a repo checkout (`git clone` + `moltbot ...` / `bun run moltbot ...`):
|
|
|
|
1) Uninstall the gateway service **before** deleting the repo (use the easy path above or manual service removal).
|
|
2) Delete the repo directory.
|
|
3) Remove state + workspace as shown above.
