PHP – How to Completely Uninstall Symfony and Composer from a Mac

composer-phpphpsymfony

I want to completely remove symfony and composer from my mac. I have been googling for five hours and no documentation can be found on how to uninstall composer and symfony completely from my mac. Why is that so hard to find? even on the Symfony website.

Symfony on your computer is just a folder containing the framework and the structure of the files, so you can delete that folder and you are done. Composer is just an binary file (phar) that can run on the command line. Locate where that file is and delete it.

Update

composer remove jenssegers/mongodb

As of v1.0.0-beta2 --update-with-dependencies is the default and is no longer required.

How to Uninstall Composer from PHP Projects

During the installation you got a message Composer successfully installed to: ... this indicates where Composer was installed. But you might also search for the file composer.phar on your system.

Then simply:

Delete the file composer.phar.
Delete the Cache Folder:
- Linux: /home/<user>/.composer
- Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Composer

That's it.
