## Uninstalling on MacOS

Open your `Finder` and navigate to the `Applications` folder. Then, drag the AnythingLLM application into the `Trashcan`, and the application will be uninstalled.

To remove all AnythingLLM desktop data from your system, please also delete the `/Users/<usr>/Library/Application Support/anythingllm-desktop` folder. This folder is where your database, documents, and vector cache are located.

## Uninstalling on macOS using Homebrew

Run this command and the application will be uninstalled:

```shell copy
brew uninstall --cask anythingllm
```

To remove the AnythingLLM desktop app and all app data from your system (this deletes the `/Users/<usr>/Library/Application Support/anythingllm-desktop` folder, which contains your database, documents, and vector cache), run this command:

```shell copy
brew uninstall --zap --cask anythingllm
```

## Uninstalling on Linux

Delete the `.AppImage` from your system. Once done, follow the instructions below to erase all related data.

To completely remove all application data, including your local database, documents, and vector cache, delete the folder located at `/home/{user}/.config/anythingllm-desktop`.

You can delete the entire directory or just the storage folder to reset your current install.

## Uninstalling on Windows

You have the option to delete either the entire `/Users/{user}/AppData/Roaming/anythingllm-desktop` folder or just the storage folder to reset your installation
