Uninstall Vagrant

To uninstall Vagrant, you can either uninstall the Vagrant binary, the user data, or both. The two sections below detail how to uninstall Vagrant on any platform.

Remove the Vagrant program

When you remove the Vagrant program, it will remove the vagrant binary and all dependencies from your machine. It will not remove user data. The next section provides more details on how to remove that directory from your system.

Windows machines

Uninstall using the Add/Remove Programs section of the control panel.

Mac OS X machines

As a super user, force remove the directory and remove it from your path with pkgutil.\

sudo rm -rf /opt/vagrant /usr/local/bin/vagrant
sudo pkgutil --forget com.vagrant.vagrant

Linux machines

As a super user, force remove the Vagrant directories.

rm -rf /opt/vagrant
rm -f /usr/bin/vagrant

Remove user data

The removal of user data will remove all boxes, plugins, license files, and any stored state that may be used by Vagrant. Removing the user data effectively makes Vagrant think it is a fresh install.

On Linux and Mac OS platforms, the user data directory location is in the root of your home directory under vagrant.d. Remove the ~/.vagrant.d directory to delete all the user data. On Windows, this directory is, C:\Users\YourUsername\.vagrant.d, where YourUsername is the username of your local user.

If the Vagrant support team asks you to remove this directory to debug, you should make a backup.

When you use Vagrant again, Vagrant will automatically regenerate any data necessary to operate.

Reinstall Vagrant

If you decide to reinstall Vagrant, you can follow the installation docs again for any standard method.
