### How do I uninstall MotherDuck?

* Remove `motherduck_*` from your environment variables (most likely only `motherduck_token`) [1]
* Remove any `motherduck*.duckdb_extension` file located into `~/.duckdb` [2]

[1] To view all your environment variables you may use:

```bash
$ env | grep -i motherduck
```

To unset in the current session:

```bash
$ unset motherduck_token
```

To unset the variable permanently, you may have to check your shell initialization files (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.)


[2] Note those files are generally under `~/.duckdb/extensions/<DuckDB Version>/<platform>`. Eg. `~/.duckdb/extensions/v0.9.1/osx_arm64`.

You may use this script:

```bash
$ find ~/.duckdb -name 'motherduck*.duckdb_extension' -exec rm {} \;
```
