[ruby] How to remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system

How can I remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system?

This question is related to ruby rubygems rvm

The answer is


There's a simple command built-in that will pull it:

rvm implode

This will remove the rvm/ directory and all the rubies built within it. In order to remove the final trace of rvm, you need to remove the rvm gem, too:

gem uninstall rvm

If you've made modifications to your PATH you might want to pull those, too. Check your .bashrc, .profile and .bash_profile files, among other things.

You may also have an /etc/rvmrc file, or one in your home directory ~/.rvmrc that may need to be removed as well.
