# Uninstalling Vagrant

Uninstalling Vagrant is easy and straightforward. You can either uninstall
the Vagrant binary, the user data, or both. The sections below cover how to
do this on every platform.

## Removing the Vagrant Program

Removing the Vagrant program will remove the `vagrant` binary and all
dependencies from your machine. After uninstalling the program, you can
always [reinstall](/v2/installation/index.html) again using standard
methods.

On **Windows**, uninstall using the add/remove programs section of
the control panel.

On **Mac OS X**, remove the `/Applications/Vagrant` directory and
the `/usr/bin/vagrant` file. Also execute
`sudo pkgutil --forget com.vagrant.vagrant` to have OS X
forget that Vagrant was ever installed.

On **Linux**, remove the `/opt/vagrant` directory and the `/usr/bin/vagrant`
file.

## Removing User Data

Removing the user data will remove all [boxes](/v2/boxes.html),
[plugins](/v2/plugins/index.html), and any stored state that may be used
by Vagrant. Removing the user data effectively makes Vagrant think it
is once again a fresh install.

On every platform, remove the `~/.vagrant.d` directory to delete the
user data.

Running Vagrant will automatically regenerate any data necessary to run,
so it is safe to remove the user data at any time.
