Uninstall

Everything can be removed with the same scripts that installed it, plus (optionally) a few leftover files. Removal never reaches into your projects — your code is untouched.

Agent

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://16co.de/install_agent.sh | sh -s -- uninstall

Windows

$env:CODE_ACTION='uninstall'; irm https://16co.de/install_agent.ps1 | iex

This stops the agent, removes the app/package/service, and prints what it did. It deliberately keeps ~/.code (your machine's identity) so a reinstall doesn't need a new sign-in. For a complete reset:

rm -rf ~/.code

Prefer doing it by hand?

• macOS: quit the menu bar app, delete /Applications/Code Agent.app, and remove ~/.code.
• Linux (root install): sudo systemctl disable --now code-agent && sudo apt remove code-agent (or dnf/yum remove code-agent).
• Linux (userland): systemctl --user disable --now code-agent, then delete ~/.local/bin/code-agent, ~/.local/bin/code-setup, and ~/.config/systemd/user/code-agent.service.
• Windows: end code-agent in Task Manager, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\16code.

Afterwards, remove the machine's entry in the web UI: Settings → Devices → delete.

Server

curl -fsSL https://16co.de/install_server.sh | sudo bash -s -- uninstall

This stops the service and removes the package, but keeps the config and all data so you can come back. To erase those too:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/code /etc/code.yaml

Docker / Podman instead:

podman rm -f code-server
podman rmi ghcr.io/yinyue123/16code
# optional, deletes all data + certificates:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/code /etc/code.yaml

Phone / tablet icon

Long-press the home screen icon → Remove (iOS: Delete Bookmark; Android installed app: Uninstall). This only removes the shortcut on that device.
