Caution
This will permanently delete all Claw agent data — memories, chat history, API keys, configs. Back up first. Use --dry-run to preview.
One command to uninstall ALL Claw-family AI agents. Zero residue.
Tried OpenClaw, ZeroClaw, NanoClaw, IronClaw and forgot to clean up? Config dirs scattered everywhere, npm globals piling up, Docker containers still running?
One line. Zero residue. 👋
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wanikua/byebyeclaw/main/uninstall.sh -o /tmp/byebyeclaw.sh && bash /tmp/byebyeclaw.shWindows (PowerShell):
