I m using macOS  I had a few versions of yarn installed with Homebrew  which I uninstalled with brew uninstall --force yarn  I then installed the latest version 1 7 0 of Yarn using Homebrew brew install yarn  But still when I ran which yarn  it returned  Users Me  yarn bin yarn  and yarn --version returned 0 24 6  There was no mention of Yarn in    bash profile  but my    bashrc file contained the line export PATH   HOME  yarn bin  PATH  indicating that I must have previously installed Yarn globally  but I only wanted to use the latest version that I just installed with Homebrew   So I uninstalled Yarn globally by running npm uninstall -g yarn  rm -rf    yarn  then editing the file    bashrc by changing the line to export PATH   usr local bin yarn  PATH  and running source    bashrc to update the PATH in the terminal session  Then when I ran which yarn it returned  usr local bin yarn  and when I ran yarn --version it returned 1 7 0

I tried the Homebrew and tarball points from the post by sospedra  It wasn t enough   I found yarn installed in     config yarn global node modules yarn  I ran yarn global remove yarn  Restarted terminal and it was gone   Originally  what brought me here was yarn reverting to an older version  but I didn t know why  and attempts to uninstall or upgrade failed   When I would checkout an older branch of a certain project the version of yarn being used would change from 1 9 4 to 0 19 1   Even after taking steps to remove yarn  it remained  and at 0 19 1

Try  npm uninstall -g yarnpkg  global  or  npm uninstall yarnpkg  local  if you installed it with npm  That s what worked for me  If that still doesn t work and you installed it with npm  do  npm list -g  to check if you installed it globally or  npm list  if you installed it locally  Hope that helps anyone having this problem   D  EDIT  Found something if you installed yarn with  msi executable you have to install it the normal windows way

npm uninstall yarn removes the yarn packages that are installed via npm but what yarn does underneath the hood is  it installs a software named yarn in your PC  If you have installed in Windows  Go to add or remove programs and then search for yarn and uninstall it then you are good to go

I couldn t uninstall yarn on windows and I tried every single answer here  but every time I ran yarn -v  the command worked  But then I realized that there is another thing that can affect this  If you on windows  not sure if this also happens in mac  and using nvm  one problem that can happen is that you have installed nvm without uninstalling npm  and the working yarn command is from your old yarn version from the old npm  So what you need to do is follow this step from the nvm docs  You should also delete the existing npm install location  e g   quot C  Users lt user gt  AppData Roaming npm quot    so that the nvm install location will be correctly used instead  Backup the global npmrc config  e g  C  Users amp lt user gt  AppData Roaming npm etc npmrc   if you have some important settings there  or copy the settings to the user config C  Users amp lt user gt  npmrc   And to confirm that you problem is with the old npm  you will probably see the yarn cmd file inside the C  Users  lt user gt  AppData Roaming npm folder

On my Mac neither of these regular methods to uninstall Yarn worked   brew  brew uninstall yarn  npm  npm uninstall -g yarn  Instead I removed it manually by typing rm -rf    yarn  thanks user elthrasher  and deleting the two symbol links yarn and yarnpkg from usr local bin  Afterwards brew install yarn gave me the latest version of Yarn     Background  The fact that I had a very outdated version of Yarn installed gave me utterly incomprehensible errors while trying to install additional modules to a project set up with Vue CLI Service and Vue UI  which apparently uses Yarn  under the hood   I generally use NPM so it took me a while to figure out the cause for my trouble  Naturally googling error messages produced by such module incompatibilities presented no clues  With Yarn updated everything works just perfectly now
