## How to uninstall Toolbox
177+
178+
Removing Toolbox involves removing all the Docker components it includes. In some cases, you might want to keep the machines you created with Docker Machine, so that step is described here as optional.
179+
180+
To uninstall Toolbox on a Mac, do the following:
181+
182+
1. List your machines.
183+
```
184+
$ docker-machine ls
185+
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
186+
dev * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
187+
my-docker-machine virtualbox Stopped
188+
default virtualbox Stopped
189+
```
190+
191+
2. Optionally, remove each machine. For example:
192+
193+
```
194+
$ docker-machine rm my-docker-machine
195+
Successfully removed my-docker-machine
196+
```
197+
198+
3. Remove the Docker Quickstart Terminal and Kitematic from your “Applications” folder.
199+
200+
4. Remove the `docker`, `docker-compose`, and `docker-machine` commands from the `/usr/local/bin` folder.
201+
202+
```
203+
$ rm /usr/local/bin/docker
204+
$ rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
205+
$ rm /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
206+
```

194+
3. Uninstall Docker Toolbox using Window’s standard process for uninstalling programs through the control panel.
195+
196+
>**Note:** This process does not remove the `docker-install.exe` file. You must delete that file yourself.
