dvs remove

Uninstall and release a DVS installation.

Description​

The remove command completely uninstalls DevSpaces from your local machine and releases the license on the server, making it available for reuse.

Usage​

dvs remove

Important Notes​

  • License Release: The command calls the server API to deactivate the installation and release the license. This makes the license available for reuse.
  • Local Cleanup: After successful server deactivation, local configuration files and keys are removed.
  • Failure Handling: If the API call fails (server unreachable), the local configuration is preserved and the command fails. This allows you to:
    • Retry dvs remove later when the server is accessible
    • Manually deactivate the installation via admin, then use dvs clean to remove local configuration
  • dvs clean - Remove local configuration without calling the API
