FAQ: How can I uninstall Portmaster?

[dhaavi]

If you are uninstalling Portmaster because something did not work or did not meet your expectations, please reach out and give us feedback!

Windows

Open the "Add or Remove Programs" app, find Portmaster and press "Uninstall".

Alternatively, you can find the uninstaller at C:\ProgramData\Safing\Portmaster\portmaster-uninstaller.exe.

Linux

On most systems, you can open your graphical package manager, search for "Portmaster" and then have it removed. Depending on your distro, this might leave your configuration intact, so if you want to fully remove everything, be sure to delete the data folder after uninstalling with sudo rm -r /opt/safing/portmaster.

If you installer Portmaster with the curl | bash script, you can also uninstall using it:

# Leave configuration data intact:
curl -fsSL https://updates.safing.io/latest/linux_all/packages/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --uninstall

# Also delete configuration data:
curl -fsSL https://updates.safing.io/latest/linux_all/packages/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --uninstall --purge
