The uninstall procedure needs the original installation script that is downloaded from the cloudSwXtch. If the user proceeded with the commands proposed in the [Install xNIC on Linux](/v2/docs/install-xnic-on-linux) page, the file should be readily available. If it is not then you can re-download the file using this command: Download the installer: ```shell wget http://172.41.128.25/swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.sh;chmod +x swx-xnic-install.sh ``` Then uninstall using the newly downloaded file, or conversly run this command if the installer is already available. ```shell ./swx-xnic-install.sh -u ``` Another option if the cloudSwXtch is still running in the network, and the agent has connectivity to that VM, users can opt for a one-liner download & execute by using either of thecommands below: ```shell curl http:///swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.sh | bash -s  -- -u ``` If the file is not available and the cloudSwXtch is not running anymore, please contact [support@swxtch.io](mailto:support@swxtch.io) for help.
