How to Uninstall Android Debug Bridge?

Here's how to completely uninstall ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from your computer:

Windows:

  • Delete the Platform-Tools Folder
    • Navigate to where you extracted ADB (e.g., C:\platform-tools).
    • Delete the entire folder.
  • Remove ADB from PATH (if added)
    • Search for "Environment Variables" in Start.
    • Under System Variables, select Path → Edit.
    • Remove any entry pointing to platform-tools.
  • For Chocolatey Users (if installed via package manager):
  • choco uninstall adb

macOS:

  • Delete the Platform-Tools Folder
    • Typically located in ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools (if installed via Android Studio).
    • Run:
    • rm -rf ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
  • For Homebrew Users:
  • brew uninstall android-platform-tools

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

  • Uninstall via APT:
  • sudo apt remove adb fastboot
  • Delete Manual Installs:
    • Remove any manually downloaded platform-tools folders.

Note: This only removes ADB from your computer. Your Android device’s USB Debugging setting remains unchanged (disable it separately in Developer Options).
