Uninstalling NiceNode

NiceNode installs and runs software that runs on its own when you install Podman and run a node. This software will continue to run in the background on your computer, if you only follow the normal steps to uninstall an application with Mac, Windows, or Linux.

WARNING

Following these steps can stop and remove nodes completely! Read carefully.

There are additional options to only uninstall Podman or only remove nodes and their data
