Uninstall Flutter

To remove the Flutter SDK from your development machine, delete the directories that store Flutter and its configuration files.

The instructions on this page are configured to cover uninstall Flutter on a Windows device.

If you'd like to follow the instructions for a different OS, please select one of the following.

1. Determine your Flutter SDK installation location

   Copy the absolute path to the directory that you downloaded and extracted the Flutter SDK into.

2. Remove the installation directory

   To uninstall the Flutter SDK, delete the flutter directory you installed Flutter to.

   For example, if you downloaded Flutter into a develop\flutter folder inside your user directory, run the following command to delete the SDK:

   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path (Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE "develop\flutter")

1. Determine your Flutter SDK installation location

   Copy the absolute path to the directory that you downloaded and extracted the Flutter SDK into.

2. Remove the installation directory

   To uninstall the Flutter SDK, delete the flutter directory you installed Flutter to.

   For example, if you downloaded Flutter into a develop/flutter folder inside your user directory, run the following command to delete the SDK:

   rm -rf ~/develop/flutter

Flutter and Dart add to additional directories in your home directory. These contain configuration files and package downloads. The following cleanup is optional.

1. Remove Flutter configuration directories

   If you don't want to preserve your Flutter tooling configuration, remove the following directories from your device.

   • %APPDATA%\.flutter-devtools

   To remove these directories, run the following command:

   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path (Join-Path $env:APPDATA ".flutter-devtools")

   • ~/.flutter
   • ~/.flutter-devtools
   • ~/.flutter_settings

   To remove these directories, run the following command:

   rm -rf  ~/.flutter ~/.flutter-devtools ~/.flutter_settings

2. Remove Dart configuration directories

   If you don't want to preserve your Dart tooling configuration, remove the following directories from your device.

   • %APPDATA%\.dart
   • %APPDATA%\.dart-tool
   • %LOCALAPPDATA%\.dartServer

   To remove these directories, run the following command:

   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path (Join-Path $env:APPDATA ".dart"), (Join-Path $env:APPDATA ".dart-tool"), (Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA ".dartServer")

   • ~/.dart
   • ~/.dart-tool
   • ~/.dartServer

   To remove these directories, run the following command:

   rm -rf  ~/.dart ~/.dart-tool ~/.dartServer

3. Remove pub package directories

   If you don't want to preserve your locally installed pub packages, remove the pub system cache directory from your device.

   If you didn't change the location of the pub system cache, run the following command to delete the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pub\Cache directory:

   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path (Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA "Pub\Cache")

   If you didn't change the location of the pub system cache, run the following command to delete the ~/.pub-cache directory:

   rm -rf ~/.pub-cache

You can reinstall Flutter or just Dart at any time. If you removed any configuration directories, reinstalling Flutter restores them to default settings.
