# Uninstalling the CLI
Your uninstall method depends on how you ran the CLI. Follow the instructions for either npx or a global npm installation.
## Method 1: Using npx
npx runs packages from a temporary cache without a permanent installation. To "uninstall" the CLI, you must clear this cache, which will remove gemini-cli and any other packages previously executed with npx.
The npx cache is a directory named `_npx` inside your main npm cache folder. You can find your npm cache path by running `npm config get cache`.
**For macOS / Linux**
```bash
# The path is typically ~/.npm/_npx
rm -rf "$(npm config get cache)/_npx"
```
**For Windows**
_Command Prompt_
```cmd
:: The path is typically %LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx
rmdir /s /q "%LocalAppData%\npm-cache\_npx"
```
_PowerShell_
```powershell
# The path is typically $env:LocalAppData\npm-cache\_npx
Remove-Item -Path (Join-Path $env:LocalAppData "npm-cache\_npx") -Recurse -Force
```
## Method 2: Using npm (Global Install)
If you installed the CLI globally (e.g., `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli`), use the `npm uninstall` command with the `-g` flag to remove it.
```bash
npm uninstall -g @google/gemini-cli
```
This command completely removes the package from your system.
