OpenShears

OpenShears: The Ultimate Tool for Removing OpenClaw

OpenShears is a robust command-line interface (CLI) utility developed to safely and completely eliminate OpenClaw, the well-known local large language model (LLM) gateway service, from your system. Inspired by the precision of kitchen shears, OpenShears allows users to dismantle OpenClaw with confidence and efficiency.

Key Features

• Deep Scan: Identify hidden artifacts associated with OpenClaw, including:

  • Global NPM packages (openclaw)
  • Configuration files (~/.openclaw, ~/.clawdbot)
  • Log files and cache
  • Active background processes

• Safe Mode: Ensures user confirmation before executing any deletion operation, promoting a secure removal process.

• Hard Kill: Instantly terminates any stubborn processes that are still running.

• Clean Sweep: Systematically removes directories, files, and packages in the correct sequence for complete removal.

Usage

OpenShears can be executed directly without installation via:

npx openshears

Alternatively, for local execution, clone the repository and run:

git clone https://github.com/oswarld/openshears.git
cd openshears
npm install
npm run build
npm start

Important Notice

This tool is destructive by nature. OpenShears is built to permanently erase all configurations, memory, and logs associated with OpenClaw. Once the process is confirmed, it cannot be reversed.

OpenShears encourages community contributions. Users encountering any residual files missed during the removal process are invited to submit a pull request to enhance the tool's functionality.
