dotnet new uninstall

This article applies to: ✔️ .NET 6 SDK and later versions

Name

dotnet new uninstall - uninstalls a template package.

Synopsis

dotnet new uninstall <PATH|NUGET_ID> 
    [-d|--diagnostics] [--verbosity <LEVEL>] [-h|--help]

Description

The dotnet new uninstall command uninstalls a template package at the PATH or NUGET_ID provided. When the <PATH|NUGET_ID> value isn't specified, all currently installed template packages and their associated templates are displayed. When specifying NUGET_ID, don't include the version number.

Note

Starting with the .NET 7 SDK, the dotnet new syntax has changed:

  • The --list, --search, --install, and --uninstall options became list, search, install, and uninstall subcommands.
  • The --update-apply option became the update subcommand.
  • To use --update-check, use the update subcommand with the --check-only option.

Other options that were available before are still available to use with their respective subcommands. Separate help for each subcommand is available via the -h or --help option: dotnet new <subcommand> --help lists all supported options for the subcommand.

Additionally, tab completion is now available for dotnet new. It supports completion for installed template names and for the options a selected template provides. To activate tab completion for the .NET SDK, see Enable tab completion.

Examples of the old syntax:

  • List the installed templates and details about them, including how to uninstall them:

    dotnet new --uninstall

  • Uninstall the Azure web jobs project template package:

    dotnet new --uninstall Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ProjectTemplates

Arguments

  • <PATH|NUGET_ID>

    The folder on the file system or the NuGet package identifier the package was installed from. Note that the version for the NuGet package should not be specified.
