Uninstall Partner

Removing Partner stops and deregisters the service and removes the program. Pick your operating system below.

Linux

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb):

bash
sudo apt remove partner
# or, if installed directly with dpkg:
sudo dpkg -r partner

Fedora / RHEL (.rpm):

bash
sudo rpm -e partner

The removal scripts stop and deregister the partnerd service and remove the binary.

AppImage: there is nothing to uninstall — just delete the .AppImage file. If you ran it, you can stop it by closing it.

Windows

Uninstall like any other program:

  • Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Partner → Uninstall, or

  • from an elevated PowerShell:

    powershell
    msiexec /x Partner.msi /qn

The uninstaller stops and removes the partnerd Windows service.

macOS

Remove the daemon and the installed files:

bash
sudo launchctl bootout system/xyz.partner.partnerd 2>/dev/null || true
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/partnerd
sudo rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/xyz.partner.partnerd.plist

A note on your machine identity

Uninstalling removes the Partner program and service. If you reinstall later on the same machine, Partner derives the same stable machine ID from the operating system, so the machine keeps its identity. If you had claimed the machine to an account and want it gone from your device list, revoke it from your controller before (or after) uninstalling.

Partner — self-hosted remote desktop.
