but why you want to unistall ..

Which OS and desktop client are you using, and how did you install REA? Are you trying to remove REA itself to free disk space, or just disconnect it from the client?

REA has a built-in uninstaller. Quit Claude Desktop fully first (closing its window isn't enough), then run:

npx -y rea-agents@latest uninstall --purge-data

It removes the rea entry from every agent config it finds (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and the others) and the REA skill. --purge-data also deletes REA's cache and state under ~/.rea and its Kuna cache. Hopper, Node.js, your Evidence files and captures are kept, so if setup installed Hopper and you don't use it, remove it like any other app. If you installed the rea command globally, also run npm uninstall --global rea-agents.

Uninstall doesn't touch npm's own copy of REA: about 276 MB per copy (measured on Linux), kept in the _npx folder of npm's cache. On npm 11 or newer, npm cache npx rm --force deletes all npx copies (not only REA's). On older npm, delete the _npx folder inside the folder that npm config get cache prints. npx downloads a package again the next time something runs it.

Docs: Diagnose, update, and remove. Checked on Linux with REA 6.8.0 and a Claude Desktop config: the uninstall removed the rea entry, the skill and the caches, and two 276 MB _npx copies stayed until the npx cache was cleared.
