Uninstall ArgentOS

macOS

Run the uninstall script:

curl -fsSL https://argentos.ai/uninstall.sh | bash -s --

This removes:

/Applications/Argent.app
Gateway, Redis, and monitoring LaunchAgents
CLI wrappers (argent, argentos)
Private Node.js runtime
App UserDefaults

Your data is preserved by default — memory, configuration, and workspace files stay in ~/.argentos/.

Full Removal (including data)

To also delete your memory database, config, logs, and workspace:

curl -fsSL https://argentos.ai/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --remove-data

This will ask you to type DELETE to confirm. To skip confirmation:

curl -fsSL https://argentos.ai/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --remove-data --force
