# Uninstall nvm

Completely remove nvm and restore the system to its pre-nvm state.

## Workflow

1. **Remove the nvm directory:**
   ```bash
   rm -rf "$NVM_DIR"
   # Usually: rm -rf ~/.nvm
   ```

2. **Remove nvm lines from shell profile** (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`):
   ```bash
   # Delete these lines from your profile:
   # export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
   # [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
   # [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
   ```

3. **Verify nvm is removed:**
   ```bash
   # Open a new terminal, then:
   command -v nvm    # Should return nothing
   which node        # Should show system Node path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/node)
   node -v           # Should show system Node version
   ```

**Warning:** This permanently removes all nvm-managed Node versions. Back up any global packages first with `npm list -g --depth=0`.
