Uninstall Forge

Updated on Oct 1, 2026

1. Remove shell completions, if you installed them. See Shell Completions for the command details:

bash

frg shell uninstall <shell>

2. Remove Forge with the method you used to install it:

Installed with	Remove with
Installer or manual binary (Linux/macOS)	sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/frg, or delete frg from your custom folder
.deb package	sudo apt remove frg
.rpm package	sudo dnf remove frg
Arch package	sudo pacman -R frg
Windows installer or manual binary	Remove-Item "C:\Program Files\Forge\frg.exe" -Force, or delete frg.exe from your custom folder. Then remove the folder from PATH. To remove the frg executable on Windows, first find where it is installed with the Get-Command frg command.

3. Optionally remove user-level Forge data. These folders can contain your license file and user configuration:

bash

rm -rf ~/.forge ~/.config/forge # Linux/macOS

powershell

Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.forge" -Recurse -Force # Windows

Project settings live in each repository's .forge/ folder. Delete that folder only if you no longer want Forge configuration, work files, or the license in that project.
