This topic describes how to uninstall the AWS Command Line Interface version 2 (AWS CLI version 2).
AWS CLI version 2 uninstallation instructions:
To uninstall, follow the same method you used to install the AWS CLI.
To uninstall the AWS CLI version 2, run the following commands.
Locate the symlink and install paths.
Use the which
command to find the symlink. This shows the path you used with the --bin-dir
parameter.
$
which aws
/usr/local/bin
/aws
Use the ls
command to find the directory that the symlink points to. This gives you the path you used with the --install-dir
parameter.
$
ls -l /usr/local/bin/aws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ec2-user ec2-user 49 Oct 22 09:49 /usr/local/bin/aws -> /usr/local/aws-cli
/v2/current/bin/aws
Delete the two symlinks in the --bin-dir
directory. If your user has write permission to these directories, you don't need to use sudo
.
$
sudo rm /usr/local/bin
/aws
$
sudo rm /usr/local/bin
/aws_completer
Delete the --install-dir
directory. If your user has write permission to this directory, you don't need to use sudo
.
$
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws-cli
(Optional) Remove the shared AWS SDK and AWS CLI settings information in the .aws
folder.
These configuration and credentials settings are shared across all AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI. If you remove this folder, they cannot be accessed by any AWS SDKs that are still on your system.
The default location of the .aws
folder differs between platforms, by default the folder is located in ~/.aws/
. If your user has write permission to this directory, you don't need to use sudo
.
$
sudo rm -rf ~/.aws/
We provide an official AWS supported version of the AWS CLI on snap
. If you used snap
to install the AWS CLI, use the following steps:
Run the following snap remove
command for the AWS CLI.
$
snap remove aws-cli --classic
If you used sudo
to install the AWS CLI, you need to add it to the command.
$
sudo snap remove aws-cli --classic
You might need to restart your command prompt window or your computer to remove all files.
(Optional) Remove the shared AWS SDK and AWS CLI settings information in the .aws
folder.
These configuration and credentials settings are shared across all AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI. If you remove this folder, they cannot be accessed by any AWS SDKs that are still on your system.
The default location of the .aws
folder differs between platforms, by default the folder is located in ~/.aws/
. If you have write permissions to this directory, you don't need to use sudo
.
$
sudo rm -r ~/.aws/
To uninstall the AWS CLI version 2, run the following commands, substituting the paths you used to install. The example commands use the default installation paths.
Find the folder that contains the symlinks to the main program and the completer.
$
which aws
/usr/local/bin
/aws
Using that information, run the following command to find the installation folder that the symlinks point to.
$
ls -l /usr/local/bin/aws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ec2-user ec2-user 49 Oct 22 09:49 /usr/local/bin/aws -> /usr/local/aws-cli
/aws
Delete the two symlinks in the first folder. If your user already has write permission to these folders, you don't need to use sudo
.
$
sudo rm /usr/local/bin
/aws
$
sudo rm /usr/local/bin
/aws_completer
Delete the main installation folder. Use sudo
to gain write access to the /usr/local
folder.
$
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws-cli
(Optional) Remove the shared AWS SDK and AWS CLI settings information in the .aws
folder.
These configuration and credentials settings are shared across all AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI. If you remove this folder, they cannot be accessed by any AWS SDKs that are still on your system.
