How to unistall Claude Flow on Mac?

[kevin4hig]

any solution? I uninstalled everything and it still generates .swarm and .claude-flow

check your /agents and /hooks

there should really be an uninstall script from the maintainers for this package. incredibly difficult to remove all the different configs/agents/hooks/commands manually without messing up your own config

try this and the above at your own risk: https://gist.github.com/L422Y/94a79d56a3f32304a8d7032d4d5bae25

Here's the complete uninstall for macOS:

# 1. Kill any running ruflo/hive-mind processes
ps aux | grep -E "ruflo|claude-flow|hive-mind" | grep -v grep
# Kill the PIDs from above

# Also kill stale hive-mind Claude processes
ps aux | grep "claude.*dangerously-skip-permissions" | grep -v grep
# Kill those too — we found one consuming 1.2 GB RAM

# 2. Remove MCP server from Claude Code
claude mcp remove ruflo
claude mcp remove claude-flow

# 3. Uninstall npm packages
npm uninstall -g @claude-flow/cli ruflo claude-flow

# 4. Remove local state files (in each project that used it)
rm -rf .claude-flow/ .hive-mind/ .swarm/ .agents/

# 5. Remove hooks from Claude settings
# Edit ~/.claude/settings.json — remove any hooks referencing ruflo/claude-flow

# 6. Remove agent definitions (if installed by ruflo)
rm -rf .claude/agents/

# 7. Clean npm cache
npm cache clean --force

Watch for stale processes: We found a hive-mind Queen process consuming 1.2 GB RAM that persisted after the tool was no longer in active use. Always check for lingering processes.

State files can be large: Our audit found graph-state.json at 100 MB and auto-memory-store.json at 5.9 MB in .claude-flow/data/.
