== Uninstalling a release version ==

*If you have the folder Docs & Scripts from when you installed, go there, otherwise open the Open_ZFS_on_OS_X_x.y.z.dmg file you downloaded when you originally installed. If you no longer have the .dmg file, you can re-download it, on the [[Downloads]] page.

*Open the folder Docs & Scripts.

*Find the file named uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh.

*Open Terminal.app. You can open it from Spotlight, or from the folder in Finder /Applications/Utilities.

*Close all open files from your pools.

*Export every pool.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo zpool list
</syntaxhighlight>

Then for each pool listed
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo zpool export $poolname
</syntaxhighlight>

*Verify all the pools have been exported.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo zpool status
</syntaxhighlight>

*Now drag and drop the file uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh onto your Terminal window. Or just type
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
/Volumes/OpenZFS*/Docs\ \&\ Scripts/uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh
</syntaxhighlight>

*Press return.

*You will be prompted for your password. Enter that and press return.

The script will run and uninstall o3x.

== Uninstalling a source install ==
The procedure is the same as for [[#Uninstalling_a_release_version|uninstalling a release version]], except you need to use the uninstaller script named "uninstall-make-install.sh" instead of the one named "uninstall-openzfsonosx.sh." And if you wish, in Finder you can drag  ~/Developer/spl and ~/Developer/zfs to the Trash.

Alternatively, you can determine the list of files that were installed by installing to a DESTDIR.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd ~/Developer

cd spl
sudo make DESTDIR=~/Developer/destdir install
cd ..

cd zfs
sudo make DESTDIR=~/Developer/destdir install
cd ..

cd destdir
find . -type f > o3x_uninstall_list.txt
open o3x_uninstall_list.txt
</syntaxhighlight>

Now you can manually remove each of the files listed either by using "rm" in Terminal.app or by dragging them to the trash from Finder. You can also remove ~/Developer/destdir, ~/Developer/spl, and ~/Developer/zfs when you're done.
