Uninstalling pnpm

Removing the pnpm CLI

If you used the standalone script to install pnpm, then you should be able to uninstall the pnpm CLI by removing the pnpm home directory: rm -rf $PNPM_HOME If you used npm to install pnpm, then you should use npm to uninstall pnpm: npm rm -g pnpm

Removing the global content-addressable store

rm -rf $(pnpm store path)

If you used pnpm in non-primary disks, then you must run the above command in every disk, where pnpm was used. pnpm creates one store per disk.
