Use this guide to fully remove Ryvos, or do a partial cleanup while keeping your data.

Quick Remove

If you installed with the one-line installer:

rm -f ~/.local/bin/ryvos
rm -f /usr/local/bin/ryvos

Then verify:

command -v ryvos || echo "ryvos removed"

Remove User Data (Optional)

Ryvos stores config, sessions, logs, and skills in ~/.ryvos.

rm -rf ~/.ryvos

:::caution This permanently deletes your local Ryvos history, config, and logs. :::

Remove systemd User Service (if enabled)

If you enabled the user service during onboarding:

systemctl --user stop ryvos || true
systemctl --user disable ryvos || true
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/ryvos.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

Remove Shell Completion (Optional)

# bash
rm -f ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ryvos
 
# zsh
rm -f ~/.zfunc/_ryvos
 
# fish
rm -f ~/.config/fish/completions/ryvos.fish
