Uninstall
Uninstall ThinkFleet completely (CLI, service, state, workspace)
Uninstall
Two paths:
- Easy path if
thinkfleetbotis 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:
thinkfleetbot uninstallNon-interactive (automation / npx):
thinkfleetbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
npx -y thinkfleetbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactiveManual steps (same result):
- Stop the gateway service:
thinkfleetbot gateway stop- Uninstall the gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks):
thinkfleetbot gateway uninstall- Delete state + config:
rm -rf "${THINKFLEETBOT_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.thinkfleetbot}"If you set THINKFLEETBOT_CONFIG_PATH to a custom location outside the state dir, delete that file too.
- Delete your workspace (optional, removes agent files):
rm -rf ~/thinkfleet- Remove the CLI install (pick the one you used):
npm rm -g thinkfleetbot
pnpm remove -g thinkfleetbot
bun remove -g thinkfleetbot- If you installed the macOS app:
rm -rf /Applications/ThinkFleetBot.appNotes:
- If you used profiles (
--profile/THINKFLEETBOT_PROFILE), repeat step 3 for each state dir (defaults are~/.thinkfleetbot-<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 thinkfleetbot is missing.
macOS (launchd)
Default label is bot.molt.gateway (or bot.molt.<profile>; legacy com.thinkfleetbot.* may still exist):
launchctl bootout gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway
rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.molt.gateway.plistIf you used a profile, replace the label and plist name with bot.molt.<profile>. Remove any legacy com.thinkfleetbot.* plists if present.
Linux (systemd user unit)
Default unit name is thinkfleetbot-gateway.service (or thinkfleetbot-gateway-<profile>.service):
systemctl --user disable --now thinkfleetbot-gateway.service
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/thinkfleetbot-gateway.service
systemctl --user daemon-reloadWindows (Scheduled Task)
Default task name is ThinkFleetBot Gateway (or ThinkFleetBot Gateway (<profile>)).
The task script lives under your state dir.
schtasks /Delete /F /TN "ThinkFleetBot Gateway"
Remove-Item -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.thinkfleetbot\gateway.cmd"If you used a profile, delete the matching task name and ~\.thinkfleetbot-<profile>\gateway.cmd.
Normal install vs source checkout
Normal install (install.sh / npm / pnpm / bun)
If you used https://thinkfleet.dev/install.sh or install.ps1, the CLI was installed with npm install -g thinkfleetbot@latest.
Remove it with npm rm -g thinkfleetbot (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 + thinkfleetbot ... / bun run thinkfleetbot ...):
- Uninstall the gateway service before deleting the repo (use the easy path above or manual service removal).
- Delete the repo directory.
- Remove state + workspace as shown above.
