How to Uninstall Rvm

How to remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system

There's a simple command built-in that will pull it:

rvm implode

This will remove the rvm/ directory and all the rubies built within it. In order to remove the final trace of rvm, you need to remove the rvm gem, too, if you installed that:

gem uninstall rvm

There may be elements left over from a Homebrew, Apt or DNF install of it that require removal as well. This depends on how you installed it in the first place. That clean-up step is optional, as RVM will no longer be involved in Ruby, but can help keep things organized.

If you've made modifications to your PATH you might want to pull those, too. Check your .bashrc, .profile and .bash_profile files, among other things.

You may also have an /etc/rvmrc file, or one in your home directory ~/.rvmrc that may need to be removed as well.

How to Uninstall RVM?

It’s easy; just do the following:

rvm implode

rm -rf ~/.rvm

And don’t forget to remove the script calls in the following files:

~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
~/.profile

And maybe others depending on whatever shell you’re using.

Remove RVM, Ruby and gems completely?

Linux and installed as regular user ? Than all you need to do is:

rm -Rf ./.rvm
rm -Rf ./.gem
rm -f ./.gemrc

You can also check ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile files for lines like this:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

This should be enough. If you've installed it in some custom way then try this:

$ rvm list # to see what version you have installed
$ rvm gemdir # to see where are gemfiles located

There is something like rvm remove as well but, if you want to just remove all, than it's not very interesting I think.

Trouble on uninstalling RVM

RVM installs everything into ~/.rvm. To remove RVM from your system run 'rm -rf ~/.rvm'.

Refer this. and where is everything installed to?

How do I uninstall ruby and gems using RVM?

Basically taken from http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/:

To list the available ruby versions to install type:

rvm list known

To then install from the list of known, type:

To then use the ruby version you have installed:

rvm use VERSION_NUMBER

You can make a certain ruby version your system default version:

rvm use VERSION_NUMBER --default

To remove the ruby version and keep the gemsets:

rvm uninstall VERSION_NUMBER

To remove ruby and its associated gemsets:

rvm remove VERSION_NUMBER
