How to uninstall

[sc-mcano]

I want to try this but was looking for a way to uninstall first. Would the uninstall remove SQLite 3?

The new version no longer requires better-sqlite3 and you can manually clean things out over in ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/ in there is node_modules and that's where better-sqlite3 is

New system uses bun, and bun has built in sqlite functionality, we removed pm2 dependency, better sqlite3 dependency, and made everything faster.

Had to add bun, but bun is now very official and recommended by anthropic, so I figured let's just go for it. Too many issues with pm2 and windows and better sqlite.

Full uninstall steps for the current version (Bun-based, no better-sqlite3):

1. Stop the worker service

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:37777/shutdown 2>/dev/null || true

2. Remove the plugin

rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/

3. Remove the hooks from ~/.claude/settings.json
Open the file and delete the entries referencing claude-mem or thedotmack in the hooks sections.

4. Remove data (optional)

rm -rf ~/.claude-mem/

This removes the SQLite database, settings, and Chroma vector store. Skip this if you might reinstall later and want to keep your memory history.

Regarding better-sqlite3: The current version uses Bun's built-in SQLite — no native module, nothing system-level to clean up. Removing ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/ is sufficient for a clean uninstall.
