I followed the instructions in Laravel docs to install Vagrant and Homestead on Windows 10, but now I've decided to move the whole development stuff to another dedicated server running Debian.
I need to fully remove Vagrant, Homestead, Composer as well as AMPPS (old stuff) from the Windows 10 desktop. It should be easy to simply uninstall Vagrant and AMPPS, but how do I go about cleaning up the remaining things?
I don't need to keep any of the code etc. I've already got that in a different location.
Virtual Machine
Remove the homestead VM by running
vagrant box remove laravel/homestead
Homestead
If you installed Homestead via composer with the following command:
composer global require laravel/homestead
run the opposite to remove it:
composer remove laravel/homestead
This will remove the .composer/vendor/laravel directory, including its 'homestead' subdirectory. The 'global' keyword is not required.
On a Mac or Linux system, the Homestead configuration files can be removed by deleting the '~/.homestead' directory. You may need to hunt a little to find the directory on your Windows system. Don't worry too much if you can't find it; the directory is small and innocuous.
Composer
Composer is usually installed as a Windows application; check Add/Remove programs (or the Windows 10 equivalent) to uninstall it.
If you installed Composer manually and it does not appear in your list of installed apps, simply remove the 'composer' binary and the configuration directory (~/.composer on Mac/Linux systems).
