Uninstalling Tailscale
Here's how to uninstall Tailscale from your device, or completely reset Tailscale for debugging purposes.
Uninstall Tailscale by using the uninstall command of the package manager you used to install the binary in the first place:
For all Ubuntu and Debian versions, uninstall using apt-get:
sudo apt-get remove tailscale
For CentOS 7 and Amazon Linux 2, uninstall using yum:
sudo yum remove tailscale
For openSUSE Leap 15.1, 15.2, and openSUSE Tumbleweed, uninstall using zypper:
sudo zypper rm tailscale
For CentOS 8, CentOS Stream 9, RHEL 8, and Fedora, uninstall using dnf:
sudo dnf remove tailscale
Completely delete Tailscale
If you'd like to completely delete Tailscale, destroying any state or local information, you can also remove the file at:
/var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.state
After uninstalling Tailscale, if you install Tailscale on a device again at a later time, it will have a new IP address.
