How do I uninstall odrive?

I Have a Question

Windows :

  1. Exit odrive
  2. Uninstall odrive using the standard windows uninstall method (add/remove programs).

The default odrive folder will be renamed to odrive_backup_[current date and time] as a backup.

MacOS:
Please follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Exit odrive.

  2. Open a terminal session (type “terminal” in Spotlight search):

  3. Run the following command in the terminal session (copy & paste the entire thing into terminal and hit the Enter key):

cd "$HOME" && rm -r ".odrive" && killall Finder;mv "odrive" "odrive_$(date +%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S)";cd "/Applications" && sudo rm -r "odrive.app";cd "/Library/Application Support" && if [ -d "odrive" ]; then sudo rm -r "odrive"; fi; cd "$HOME";

This will:

  • delete ~/.odrive program folder
  • restart Finder (to release the Finder extension)
  • rename the default odrive folder in your home folder, if it exists, to odrive_[current date and time]. You will find this in the root of your home folder.
  • delete /Applications/odrive.app
  • delete /Library/Application Support/odrive (This is a legacy folder and may not exist on your system).

The command will ask for your password as part of cleanup. This is to ensure that proper permissions are available when removing the odrive folders from /Applications and /Library/Application Support as well as unregistering and removing the Finder extension

Agent (Linux, Windows, Mac):
Agent installations are pretty self-contained, so it is just a matter of removing or renaming the folders you made during install.

If you were installing using the usage guide instructions here: https://docs.odrive.com/docs/odrive-sync-agent , those folders will be:
[User Home Folder]/.odrive-agent
[User Home Folder]/odrive-agent-mount (this folder contains your synced/unsynced data, so it may be best to rename it until you are certain you want to delete it)
