Be careful when executing the command as mistyped can lead to catastrophic issues:
rm $HOME/.cache/bazel -fr
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/bazel /etc/bazelrc /usr/local/lib/bazel -fr
I am not sure we should document it that way but maybe we should add a --uninstall option to the installer (not sure either). These stuff are kind of dangerous.
thanks
Let's keep this open until we actually figure out how to correctly do it.
@damienmg After
rm $HOME/.cache/bazel -fr
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/bazel /etc/bazelrc /usr/local/lib/bazel -fr
~/.cache/bazel
I can still run the cmdbazel version
. Why?? Didn't remove completely?
Find the bazel install by running:
find / -name "Bazel"
This will return the path to the bin file of bazel like: /user/bin/bazel.
Be careful in this step and only do if you know what you are doing:
rm -rf /user/bin/bazel
so ugly.
I use ubuntu16.04
maybe you can do this:
which bazel
then it will return bazel's directory,do this:
sudo rm -rf your-directory
@yellowyellowyao please do not do that, you might end up removing other unrelated files in that directory. If it's an important directory like /usr/local/bin
, you may end up removing binaries your system depends on.
@aiuto I'm marking this as a p2 because it'll be great to have a better set of instructions on uninstallation.
such an ugly way to uninstall
sudo apt-get --purge remove bazel - Worked like a charm. Needed to revert from 0.28 to 0.26. Hope this helps someone else!
You can use bazelisk (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk) to switch your Bazel version on the fly, without having to work with system installations.

This makes the most sense. I was surprised that the script didn't have this option.
