Uninstall Laravel Valet

Question

I installed Valet for the first time and I had some problems listed below: - It throws an error saying: Unable to determine linked PHP. Even though I have PHP 7.1 installed by php-osx.liip.ch so it just goes ahead and installs PHP 7.0 with homebrew anyway! - In the non-laravel projects my localhost does not work and it responds: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE and then Valet itself does not work either! - I'm getting an error on Valet domains with message: This site can’t be reached laravel_from_scratch.dev’s server DNS address could not be found. So I decided to uninstall it by running `$ valet uninstall`, it returns the corresponding response but then when I'm running `$ valet` it is all there! How to uninstall it correctly? BTW, I posted this issue also on the Valet GitHub page.

Accepted Answer

I guess I find the solution after a little bit playing around.

It seems Valet `uninstall` command does not work as expected. To uninstall it first run the composer command to uninstall the php dependencies:

`$ composer global remove laravel/valet`

then to uninstall the dependencies installed with the Homebrew, first run;

```
$ brew list
```

just so you know we are in the same page then if you see `dnsmasq` and `php70` in case you do not want them or you have php7 installed in another approach (like me) run:

```
$ brew uninstall dnsmasq
```

and

```
$ brew uninstall php70
```

Then go to your user directory and delete the `.valet` hidden directory or run the terminal command like so:

```
$ sudo rm -r ~/.valet
```
