# nanny uninstall

> Remove the nanny binary from its current install location.

Removes the `nanny` binary from its current install location.

```bash theme={null}
nanny uninstall
```

Works on all platforms. On Windows, the running executable cannot delete itself — `nanny uninstall` spawns a hidden background process that waits for nanny to exit, then removes the binary and cleans up your PATH automatically. Restart your terminal after uninstalling.
