No uninstall documentation for the native Claud Code build (Windows)
Environment
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.98
- Operating System: Windows 11
Bug Description
While installing Claud Code is easy (irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex), there's no documented way to uninstall it when it was installed that way.
I tried to return to the npm version (reasons not relevant here) by just deleting ~/.claude and ~/.local folders and then installing the npm version, but that only leads to the errors:
● Directory C:\Users\<user>\.local\bin does not exist
● Claude command not found at C:\Users\<user>\.local\bin\claude.exe
Neither the AI agent on the antropic page not Claude itself can help with this and I can't see it anywhere in the docs either.
Expected Behavior
It would be nice to have a way to actually uninstall Claud Code native. Or if there is one, have it documented.
