Uninstalling Herd

Only uninstall Herd if you truly want to remove it from your system. If something isn’t working correctly, uninstalling is almost never the right fix. Instead, check the troubleshooting docs or simply run the Herd installer again — this will repair your installation without losing any data or settings.
In case you want to uninstall Herd from your machine, perform the following steps:
  1. Quit Herd by right-clicking on the icon in the menu bar and selecting “Quit”.
  2. Uninstall Herd via the Windows uninstaller
  3. Delete the Herd config directory at %USERPROFILE%\.config\herd
  4. Uninstall nvm by deleting the NVM_HOME and NVM_SYMLINK variables from your system environment variables
  5. Delete the shortcut C:\Program Files\nodejs if it is still present
  6. If you are using Git Bash, make sure to remove the aliases from your .bash_profile

Re-installing Herd

  1. Uninstall Herd as described above.
  2. Download the latest version of Herd from the website and install it from scratch.
