Uninstall

Section titled “Uninstall”

elise uninstall stops the services and keeps data, backups, secrets and the Tailscale identity.

elise uninstall --purge also removes /opt/elise, /var/lib/elise and /etc/elise. It refuses to act if these paths are not standard, and never disconnects Tailscale.
