Uninstall kndl

Remove kndl from a machine, and choose whether its data goes too.

1. In the web UI, archive or delete the Sessions on this machine’s Runner. A Session still running keeps its Sandbox after kndl is gone.

2. Uninstall:

   kndl uninstall          # keep the data
   kndl uninstall --purge  # remove the data too

   It lists what it removes and asks first. Without a terminal, pass --yes.

What goes, and what stays

	kndl uninstall	kndl uninstall --purge
The Hub’s and Runner’s services	Removed	Removed
The kndl command, ~/.local/bin/kndl	Removed	Removed
The install, ~/.kndl/app	Removed	Removed
hub.env, runner.env, hub.db, sessions/, logs/ in ~/.kndl	Kept	Removed

Without --purge, install kndl again and run kndl onboard, and the Hub and Runner pick up where they left off.

--purge can’t be undone

It removes the Hub’s database, its HUB_SECRETS_KEY and every Session’s Workspace.

Two things stay either way:

• Bun, if the installer added it, in ~/.bun.
• The PATH line the installer added to your shell’s startup file, marked # kndl: PATH. Delete it by hand.

On a Hub, uninstalling doesn’t remove its Runners on other machines. Remove each one from the Runners page, then uninstall kndl on its machine.
