How to uninstall Bazel

[Jacobh2]

Hi!

I installed Bazel using the steps here http://bazel.io/docs/install.html.

But now I want to uninstall it. How do I go about doing that?

[damienmg]

rm -fr ~/.bazel ~/.bazelrc

Be careful not to mixed up with that command. But it basically recursively remove ~/.bazel and ~/.bazelrc

Bazel also creates a directory at ~/.cache/bazel which you might want to remove (it may have been created at /tmp if it couldn't find your home directory, and on mac os it's /var/tmp)

Found it at ~/.cache/bazel! Thanks!

Also the executable in ~/bin

Also I found an executable of bazel in this path /usr/local/bin/bazel

This command worked for me: sudo apt-get --purge remove bazel

How do on windows?

sudo rm -fr ~/.bazel ~/.bazelrc ~/usr/local/lib/bazel ~/.cache/bazel
delete all above files and folders,
then look into the usr/bin for bazel file, you will find bazel file with version if you have installed using sudo, then uninstall them by sudo apt-get --purge remove bazel-<version> (one by one if installed multiple version)
after that install bazel proper way and promise never to install bazel without knowing the proper way!

you can install it using sudo and you just need to keep only one bazel version that matches your need, this way you don't need any env path setup.
Thanks!
