Yes, you can completely uninstall and reinstall Clawdbot! Here are the steps:

Quick uninstall (if CLI is still installed):

moltbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive

Manual uninstall steps:

  1. Stop the gateway: moltbot gateway stop
  2. Uninstall the service: moltbot gateway uninstall
  3. Delete state + config: rm -rf "${CLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.clawdbot}"
  4. Delete your workspace (optional): rm -rf ~/clawd
  5. Remove the CLI: npm rm -g moltbot (or pnpm remove -g moltbot / bun remove -g moltbot)

If the CLI is gone but service is still running, you'll need to manually remove the service:

  • macOS: launchctl bootout gui/$UID/bot.molt.gateway && rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.molt.gateway.plist
  • Linux: systemctl --user disable --now moltbot-gateway.service && rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/moltbot-gateway.service
#

Got it — Windows admin PowerShell/cmd it is! You should be all set with the commands above. Run them as Administrator and you should be clean and ready to reinstall. 🦐

# cyan cape on cmd? or powershell and do i rn it as administrator?

Either cmd or PowerShell will work fine!

Run as Administrator — yes, you'll need admin rights for:

  • Global npm uninstall (npm rm -g moltbot)
  • Removing the gateway service

Steps for Windows (admin PowerShell or cmd):

# 1. Uninstall everything
moltbot uninstall --all --yes --non-interactive

# 2. If that fails (CLI missing), remove service manually
schtasks /Delete /F /TN "Moltbot Gateway"
Remove-Item -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.clawdbot\gateway.cmd"

# 3. Delete remaining folders
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.clawdbot"
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\clawd"

# 4. Remove npm package
npm rm -g moltbot

# 5. Reinstall fresh
npm install -g clawdbot@latest
clawdbot onboard --install-daemon

The admin rights are mainly for step 1 and 5 (service installation). 🦐
