How to uninstall?

[andresespinosapc]

How can I uninstall the TabNine backend? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.

[superDuperCyberTechno]

It depends on how you installed it. What application did you install it through?

[breck7]

I would also like complete uninstall instructions.

Given that the CPU spikes are unbearable, and there's been zero communication from TabNine team in months about anything.

Pretty bad experience for paying customers.

I no longer recommend TabNine.

I completely agree! No one will ever write code in all languages, as no one speaks every human language. And for specific purposes (like web/software/game/etc dev), TabNine performs incredibly poorly; I was actually astounded by how bad it is. Write your own snippets, it ain't that hard

@breck7 TabNine’s resource consumption has been greatly improved in recent updates. Issues are being handled at a higher velocity, as a larger team is working on maintaining and improving TabNine. I encourage you to try the product again, but if you’re unhappy with it you can get a refund by contacting [email protected] To uninstall TabNine, type TabNine::config in your editor to find the installation directory, then uninstall the TabNine plugin from your editor, and finally delete the TabNine directory.

@LazarPetrovic1 thanks for your feedback. Can you be more specific where it performed poorly (language, editor, purpose, size of project) and whether or not you enabled deep completions?

tabnine consumes too much memory :(.. thought it would easier for me to code..

# Uninstall VS Code extension
code --uninstall-extension TabNine.tabnine-vscode
# Then reload the VS Code Window or make sure VS Code is closed
# (so the extension is unloaded and won't keep starting up TabNine processes) and run:
rm -rf /home/io/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/tabnine.tabnine-vscode/

# Uninstall TabNine (remove known TabNine folders)
rm -rf /home/io/.local/share/TabNine/
rm -rf /home/io/.config/TabNine/

# This should give no output:
pidof TabNine

For macOS:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/tabnine.tabnine-vscode
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/TabNine

Edit: Still not enough, the processes keep coming back up and the folders are being recreated.

🤦 this is a disaster

This program is garbage. I've never had a plugin sink it's teeth so hard into my computer. I would never recommend this to anyone!

[barcovanrhijn]

I use Ubuntu 20.04. The core issue for me has been that TabNine uses resources unpredictably and at times can even crash my machine by using every ounce of available resources. Resource usage can be as low as 1% CPU and 100mb Ram but at times can spike for 30+ min to 2GB Ram and more than 75% CPU. There's no way to plan capacity for such type of usage.

I use Jetbrains IDEs so the uninstall was rather painless just like the install. I think if the Devs of this TabNine can get a handle on runaway resource usage (by making the app more controlled in how it consumes resources) it may be a great asset for our dev team. Until then we'd have to do without it.

I uninstalled this plugin, but I fount the intellisense of vscode has crashed. I think the reason is that I used this plugin when I edited a c++ file. This plugin is totally garbage.

[pariazar]

solve this problem you can use following commands first go to setting.json on vscode and remove all tabnine configs

second close vscode application then remove extra files

rm -rf  ~/.config/TabNine/
rm -rf ~/.local/share/TabNine/
rm -rf  ~/.vscode/extensions/svipas.code-autocomplete

[StoneMoe]

and rm -rf ~/.tabnine for macOS

I have this crap code in my system and it will not go away. :( I have already uninstalled it and its still there. Keeps asking me if I would recommend it. Its now on my list of apps I do not want to bother with as the developer has it deep rooted and not easily uninstalled. Horrible practice if you ask me.

[sugix]

Gosh. Is this a malware or deamon which can never be killed from my Ubuntu system? I uninstalled, removed all but the process keeps popping up. How to clean uninstall this crap?

[dongqing7]

Use vscode to remotely connect to Centos, I am prompted to install tabnine. After installation, I found that tabnine is occupying too much system resources. Closed the process and delete it with cmd below: Ps - ef | grep TabNine | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9 Find all relevant files and folders in the home directory through the following command: Find~/- name * TabNine*

After closing the tabnine process, if its executable file is still present, it will automatically start and try multiple times before completely deleting it.
