Uninstall NemoClaw

View as Markdown

Use the built-in uninstall command when the installed CLI is available.

$nemo-deepagents uninstall
FlagEffect
--yesSkip the confirmation prompt.
--keep-openshellLeave OpenShell binaries installed.
--delete-modelsAlso remove NemoClaw-pulled Ollama models.
--destroy-user-dataAlso remove preserved user data in rebuild-backups/, backups/, and sandboxes.json.
--gateway <name>Override the gateway name to remove. The default is nemoclaw.

The uninstall command preserves ~/.nemoclaw/rebuild-backups/, ~/.nemoclaw/backups/, and ~/.nemoclaw/sandboxes.json by default. Uninstall removes every other entry under ~/.nemoclaw/.

Interactive runs prompt before they remove the preserved entries, and the default answer keeps them. For non-interactive runs using --yes, NEMOCLAW_NON_INTERACTIVE=1, or a non-TTY shell, pass --destroy-user-data or set NEMOCLAW_UNINSTALL_DESTROY_USER_DATA=1 to acknowledge data loss and remove the preserved entries.

--yes stays non-destructive by design and never purges preserved user data on its own. Preserving sandboxes.json does not preserve the gateway registration, provider registrations, or Docker image its recorded sandboxes depend on.

Uninstall warns that those records cannot be recovered automatically on reinstall, and the remediation is nemo-deepagents <name> destroy followed by nemo-deepagents onboard.

The CLI command runs the version-pinned uninstall.sh that shipped with the installed CLI, so it does not fetch anything over the network at uninstall time.

If the CLI is missing or broken, use the hosted script:

$curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/refs/heads/main/uninstall.sh | bash

The same flags apply to the hosted script. Pass them after bash -s --:

$curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/refs/heads/main/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --yes --delete-models
