Where might we find information on uninstalling? I was unable to locate in documentation except for Kubernetes as shown here ([Doppler Secrets Operator](https://docs.doppler.com/docs/kubernetes-operator#uninstall)):

Also unable to find anything in community except things that do not seem to provide these instructions either.

I’m on a Windows machine, but it would be great to have a section for all installation / uninstallation options. 🙂

No issues, I just want to know how to do it.

@ProsperousHeart The Doppler CLI is just a single executable file, so from inside Git Bash, just run `which doppler` and it will show you the path to the executable. Then just run `rm FULL_PATH` where `FULL_PATH` is the path you got from `which doppler`. That should be it!

Hello again 😅 I tried that and when attempting to login again, it said I already was.

How would we also clear that authentication as part of the uninstallation?

Ah, right. Sorry about that! Just run this command:

```shell
doppler configure reset

```

and you should be good to go!

As a quick follow-up – that will get the CLI reset back to it’s default settings. If you want to completely remove it, then you’ll want to remove the directory at `$HOME/.doppler`:

```auto
cd $HOME
rm -rf .doppler/

```

This will also accomplish the same thing the reset does – it just won’t leave any doppler files behind in your home directory.
