Uninstall command

Use uninstall to remove managed browser runtimes from the Extension.js cache.

This only removes browsers installed under the Extension.js managed cache root. It does not touch system Chrome, system Edge, or any browser installed outside that cache.

Canonical usage

For a single browser, use the positional form:

npm
pnpm
yarn
extension uninstall <browser>

Use --all to remove every managed browser target.

Usage

npm
pnpm
yarn
extension uninstall [browser-name] [options]

Arguments and flags

Examples

Notes

  • uninstall is safe for system browsers because it only removes Extension.js-managed cache directories.
  • If you set EXT_BROWSERS_CACHE_DIR, uninstall uses that custom cache root.
