Uninstalling modules

Completely remove installed modules with the puppet module uninstall command.

This command uninstalls modules from the modulepath specified in the puppet.conf file. To remove a module, run the uninstall command with the full name of the module. For example:

puppet module uninstall puppetlabs-apache

By default, the command exits and returns an error if you try to uninstall a module that other modules depend on or if the module's files have been modified after it was installed. You can forcibly uninstall dependencies or changed modules with command line options.

For example, to uninstall a module that other modules depend on, run:

puppet module uninstall --force

See the puppet module command reference for a complete list of options.
