Uninstall
We show you the way out as plainly as the way in. You can leave whenever you like, and take everything with you.
Remove the tool
First, clear the deploy credentials crofty saved to your keychain, and its local state:
crofty reset
Then delete the binary. Where it lives depends on how you installed it.
- Installed by double-click, macOS —
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/croftyandsudo rm -r /usr/local/libexec/crofty(the Hugo the installer brought along). - Installed by double-click, Windows — run
uninstall.exein%LOCALAPPDATA%\crofty\bin. It takes the bundled Hugo and the PATH entry with it. - Installed by script —
rm ~/.local/bin/crofty, orsudo rm /usr/local/bin/croftyif you named that prefix.
crofty keeps no state inside its own install directory, so nothing else is left behind.
Your content stays
Your project folder, your Markdown, and your built site are yours — they stay exactly where they are. Uninstalling removes our tool, not your work.
It keeps working without crofty
What you have is plain Markdown in a standard Hugo project, on your own domain and host. It goes on living without us — nothing to migrate, nothing left in our hands.
