# Uninstalling certbot-auto

To uninstall `certbot-auto`, you need to do three things:

1. If you added a cron job or systemd timer to automatically run `certbot-auto` to renew your certificates, you should delete it. If you did this by following our instructions, you can delete the entry added to `/etc/crontab` by running a command like `sudo sed -i '/certbot-auto/d' /etc/crontab`.

2. Delete the `certbot-auto` script. If you placed it in `/usr/local/bin` like we recommended, you can delete it by running `sudo rm /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto`.

3. Delete the Certbot installation created by `certbot-auto` by running `sudo rm -rf /opt/eff.org`.
