Uninstall

Two paths:
  • Easy path if datzi is 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: 
datzi uninstall
Non-interactive (automation / npx): 
datzi uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
npx -y datzi uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive
Manual steps (same result):
  1. Stop the gateway service:
datzi gateway stop
  1. Uninstall the gateway service (launchd/systemd/schtasks):
datzi gateway uninstall
  1. Delete state + config:
rm -rf "${DATZI_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.datzi}"
If you set DATZI_CONFIG_PATH to a custom location outside the state dir, delete that file too.
  1. Delete your workspace (optional, removes agent files):
rm -rf ~/.datzi/workspace
  1. Remove the CLI install (pick the one you used):
npm rm -g datzi
pnpm remove -g datzi
bun remove -g datzi
  1. If you installed the macOS app:
rm -rf /Applications/Datzi.app
Notes:
  • If you used profiles (--profile / DATZI_PROFILE), repeat step 3 for each state dir (defaults are ~/.datzi-<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 datzi is missing.

​
macOS (launchd)

Default label is bot.molt.gateway (or bot.molt.<profile>; legacy com.datzi.* may still exist): 
launchctl bootout gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway
rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.molt.gateway.plist
If you used a profile, replace the label and plist name with bot.molt.<profile>. Remove any legacy com.datzi.* plists if present.

​
Linux (systemd user unit)

Default unit name is datzi-gateway.service (or datzi-gateway-<profile>.service): 
systemctl --user disable --now datzi-gateway.service
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/datzi-gateway.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

​
Windows (Scheduled Task)

Default task name is Datzi Gateway (or Datzi Gateway (<profile>)). The task script lives under your state dir. 
schtasks /Delete /F /TN "Datzi Gateway"
Remove-Item -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.datzi\gateway.cmd"
If you used a profile, delete the matching task name and ~\.datzi-<profile>\gateway.cmd.

​
Normal install vs source checkout

​
Normal install (install.sh / npm / pnpm / bun)

If you used https://datzi.ai/install.sh or install.ps1, the CLI was installed with npm install -g datzi@latest. Remove it with npm rm -g datzi (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 + datzi ... / bun run datzi ...):
  1. Uninstall the gateway service before deleting the repo (use the easy path above or manual service removal).
  2. Delete the repo directory.
  3. Remove state + workspace as shown above.
