That’s all, assuming you ran the Homebrew installation scripts, the process is pretty straightforward and the removal is complete. But if you’re curious, use the Find, Find, and mdfind commands to find all the Homebrew, Brewery, Barrel, and Basement information on your Mac. This method is not suitable for most users – advanced or others – and will therefore not be addressed. It is a time consuming process, and digs through multiple system level directories. The last option that we do not intend to address here due to the complexity and variability of user configurations and installed packages is to manually delete all Homebrew directories, dependencies, formulas, and all related files from large-scale Homebrew directory locations, including deleting all individual items in the Mac Homebrew installed package slots. This will also remove all the packages that come with it, but if you only want to remove a certain formula and packages instead of Homebrew, you should focus on these instructions instead.

Whether you use either of the methods described above, Homebrew is removed. Alternatively, you can run the delete command with the -help flag for more information and options: Save the file as a text document titled “uninstall” or “uninstallhomebrew” or whatever it is called, and then run the command as usual.

The Homebrew uninstall script is located at the following URL: If you don’t like the idea of running a script downloaded from the Internet with a curl (which is understandable to security-conscious people), you can also view, download, and check the removal script in advance and run it manually from the computer from which you want to remove Homebrew. Option 2: Manually uninstall the script from the homebrew software
