+title: Uninstall Teleport
+description: How to remove Teleport from your system
+---
+
+This guide explains how to uninstall Teleport binaries completely.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A system with Teleport installed.
+
+
+These instructions only apply to non-containerized installations of Teleport.
+
+If you are running Teleport in Kubernetes, you should uninstall the Helm chart release instead:
+
+```code
+# Example: uninstall the Helm release named 'teleport-kube-agent' in the 'teleport' namespace
+$ helm uninstall --namespace teleport teleport-kube-agent
+```
+
+If you are running Teleport in Docker, you should stop the Teleport Docker container:
+
+```code
+# Example: Stop the Docker container named 'teleport'
+$ docker stop teleport
+```
+
+
+## Step 1/3. Stop any running Teleport processes
+
+
+
+ Instruct `systemd` to stop the Teleport process, and disable it from automatically starting:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo systemctl stop teleport
+ $ sudo systemctl disable teleport
+ ```
+
+ If these `systemd` commands do not work, you can "kill" all the running Teleport processes instead:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo killall teleport
+ ```
+
+
+
+ Instruct `launchd` to stop the Teleport process, and disable it from automatically starting:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.goteleport.teleport.plist
+ $ sudo rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.goteleport.teleport.plist
+ ```
+
+ If these commands do not work, you can "kill" all the running Teleport processes instead:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo killall teleport
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+ There are currently no long-running Teleport processes on Windows machines.
+
+
+
+
+## Step 2/3. Remove Teleport binaries
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport binary using APT:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo apt-get -y remove teleport
+ ```
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport APT repo:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teleport.list
+ ```
+
+
+ If the commands above do not work, you may have installed Teleport using a standalone DEB package. Remove it with:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo dpkg -r teleport
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport binary using YUM:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo yum -y remove teleport
+ # Optional: Use DNF on newer distributions
+ # $ sudo dnf -y remove teleport
+ ```
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport YUM repo:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/teleport.repo
+ ```
+
+
+ If the commands above do not work, you may have installed Teleport using a standalone RPM package. Remove it with:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rpm -e teleport
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ These are the default paths to the Teleport binaries. If you have changed these from the defaults on your system, substitute those paths here.
+ You can use `dirname $(which teleport)` to look this up automatically.
+
+
+ Remove the Teleport binaries from the machine:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tbot
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tctl
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/teleport
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tsh
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+ These are the default paths to the Teleport binaries. If you have changed these from the defaults on your system, substitute those paths here.
+ You can use `dirname $(which teleport)` to look this up automatically.
+
+
+ Remove the Teleport binaries from the machine:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tbot
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tctl
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/teleport
+ $ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/tsh
+ ```
+
+
+ If you installed the MacOS `tsh`-only package and/or Teleport Connect for MacOS, you can optionally remove those too:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /Applications/tsh.app
+ $ sudo rm -f /Applications/Teleport\ Connect.app
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+ Remove the `tsh.exe` binary from the machine:
+
+ ```code
+ $ del C:\Path\To\tsh.exe
+ ```
+
+ You can uninstall Teleport Connect from the "Apps and Features" section of the Control Panel.
+
+ For reference, Teleport Connect binaries are installed to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\teleport-connect`.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport binary using APT:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo apt-get -y remove teleport-ent
+ # Optional: If using the Teleport FIPS package
+ # $ sudo apt-get -y remove teleport-ent-fips
+ ```
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport APT repo:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teleport.list
+ ```
+
+
+ If the commands above do not work, you may have installed Teleport using a standalone DEB package. Remove it with:
+
+ ```code
+ # Enterprise
+ $ sudo dpkg -r teleport-ent
+ # Enterprise FIPS
+ # $ sudo dpkg -r teleport-ent-fips
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport binary using YUM:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo yum -y remove teleport-ent
+ # Optional: Use DNF on newer distributions
+ # $ sudo dnf -y remove teleport-ent
+ # Optional: If using the Teleport FIPS package
+ # $ sudo yum -y remove teleport-ent-fips
+ # $ sudo dnf -y remove teleport-ent-fips
+ ```
+
+ Uninstall the Teleport YUM repo:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/teleport.repo
+ ```
+
+
+ If the commands above do not work, you may have installed Teleport using a standalone RPM package. Remove it with:
+
+ ```code
+ # Enterprise
+ $ sudo rpm -e teleport-ent
+ # Enterprise FIPS
+ # $ sudo rpm -e teleport-ent-fips
+ ```
+

+
+
+
+ These are the default paths to the Teleport binaries. If you have changed these from the defaults on your system, substitute those paths here.

+ ```
+
+
+ If you installed the MacOS `tsh` client-only package and/or Teleport Connect for MacOS, you can optionally remove those too:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /Applications/tsh.app
+ $ sudo rm -f /Applications/Teleport\ Connect.app
+ ```
+

+
+## Step 3/3. Remove Teleport data and configuration files
+
+
+
+
+ These are the default paths to the Teleport config files and data directory.
+ If you have changed these from the defaults on your system, substitute those paths here.
+
+
+ Remove the Teleport config file:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/teleport.yaml
+ # Optional: Also remove the Machine ID config file, if you used it
+ # $ sudo rm -f /etc/tbot.yaml
+ ```
+
+ Remove the Teleport data directory:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/teleport
+ ```
+
+ Optionally, also remove the global config file and local user data directory for `tsh`:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/tsh.yaml
+ $ sudo rm -rf ~/.tsh
+ ```
+
+
+
+ These are the default paths to the Teleport config files and data directory.
+ If you have changed these from the defaults on your system, substitute those paths here.
+
+
+ Remove the Teleport config file:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/teleport.yaml
+ # Optional: Also remove the Machine ID config file, if you used it
+ # $ sudo rm -f /etc/tbot.yaml
+ ```
+
+ Remove the Teleport data directory:
+
+ ```code
+ $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/teleport
+ ```
+
+ Optionally, also remove:
+ - the global config file and local user data directory for `tsh`
+ - the local user data directory for Teleport Connect
+
+ ```code
+ # tsh
+ $ sudo rm -f /etc/tsh.yaml
+ $ sudo rm -rf ~/.tsh
+ # Teleport Connect
+ $ sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Teleport\ Connect
+ ```
+
+
+
+ Remove the local user data directory for `tsh`:
+
+ ```code
+ $ rmdir /s /q %USERPROFILE%\.tsh
+ ```
+
+ Optionally, also remove the local user data directory for Teleport Connect:
+
+ ```code
+ $ rmdir /s /q "%APPDATA%\Teleport Connect"
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+Teleport is now removed from your system.
+
+Any Teleport Services will stop appearing in your Teleport Web UI or the output of `tsh ls` once their last heartbeat has timed out. This usually occurs within 10-15 minutes of stopping the Teleport process.
