# Removing plug-ins

Use the dita uninstall subcommand to remove a plug-in.

## Procedure

At the command-line prompt, enter the following command:

    dita uninstall <plug-in-id>

where:

- <plug-in-id> is the unique ID of the plug-in, as defined in the plug-in’s configuration file (plugin.xml).

Note:
In earlier versions of DITA-OT (2.4–3.4), use the double-hyphen option syntax dita --uninstall. In DITA-OT 2.0–2.3, use the single-hyphen form: dita -uninstall.
Attention:
The uninstall subcommand also removes the corresponding plug-in directory from the plugins folder.
