This guide provide some guidance to uninstall LibreTime from your system.

We recommend using **disposable devices** for your installations, so you can delete your old system and install on a fresh one easily without worrying about old files.

If you don't have a way use disposable devices, below are commands that should help you remove most of the LibreTime files from your system.

:::warning

Use these commands at your **own risk**, we can't guarantee that these commands are always up to date.
