How to completely remove DorkOS and its data from your system
Uninstall
DorkOS stores persistent data on your filesystem. Follow these steps to remove everything cleanly.
Quick Uninstall
The dorkos cleanup command interactively removes all DorkOS data:
dorkos cleanupThis walks you through removing:
- Global data (
~/.dork/) — configuration, database, logs, adapter state - Per-project data (
.dork/directories) — agent manifests and uploads
After cleanup completes, remove the CLI itself:
npm uninstall -g dorkosbrew uninstall dorkosDocker
If you run DorkOS in Docker, remove the container and any named volumes:
docker rm -f dorkos
docker volume rm dorkos_data # if using a named volumeObsidian Plugin
Disable the DorkOS plugin in Obsidian Settings > Community plugins, then click Uninstall. The plugin does not write data outside the vault.
Manual Cleanup
If you prefer to remove data manually or no longer have the CLI installed:
# Remove global data
rm -rf ~/.dork
# Find and remove per-project agent directories
find ~ -name ".dork" -type d -path "*/.dork" 2>/dev/nullReview the results before deleting — the .dork name is common and may match unrelated directories.
What DorkOS Stores
| Location | Contents | Owned by |
|---|---|---|
~/.dork/config.json | User configuration | DorkOS |
~/.dork/dork.db | SQLite database (agents, schedules, relay state) | DorkOS |
~/.dork/logs/ | Server log files | DorkOS |
~/.dork/relay/ | Adapter credentials and state | DorkOS |
<project>/.dork/ | Agent manifest, uploads | DorkOS |
~/.claude/ | Claude Code sessions and config | Claude Code |
DorkOS never modifies ~/.claude/. That directory is managed by Claude Code and is unaffected by uninstalling DorkOS.
