# Uninstall

> Remove a self-hosted SafariDesk deployment

# Uninstall

These steps stop SafariDesk and remove its Docker resources from the machine.

## Stop the stack

Linux/macOS (bash):

```bash theme={null}
cd SafariDesk_OS/Core
docker compose down
```

Windows (PowerShell):

```powershell theme={null}
Set-Location SafariDesk_OS/Core
docker compose down
```

## Remove volumes too

If you want to delete the database, Redis data, and uploaded files, run:

This command is the same in Linux/macOS and Windows PowerShell.

```bash theme={null}
docker compose down -v
```

## Optional cleanup

You can also remove unused images and networks from Docker if you no longer need them.

This command is the same in Linux/macOS and Windows PowerShell.

```bash theme={null}
docker system prune
```

Be careful with `docker system prune` because it can remove resources used by other projects too.

## What remains on disk

Depending on how you deployed SafariDesk, the following may still exist after uninstalling:

* The cloned repository folder
* Any external backups you created
* Any data stored outside Docker volumes

Delete those manually if you want a full removal.
