It’s easy; just do the following:
rvm implode
or
rm -rf ~/.rvm
And don’t forget to remove the script calls in the following files:
~/.bashrc~/.bash_profile~/.profile
And maybe others depending on whatever shell you’re using.

34#2 isn't needed. RVM isn't a gem, it's a shell script. An alternate to step #1 is to do `rm -rf ~/.rvm`. – the Tin Man Jan 20 '11 at 20:25

18Also make sure to close (and re-open if needed) the terminal afterwards. – PedroC88 Feb 04 '11 at 04:03

5@Tin, the rvm implode command does that – Scott Schulthess Jul 20 '11 at 13:21

@theTinMan, [this answer (and some comments)](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3558656/how-to-remove-rvm-ruby-version-manager-from-my-system/3558763#3558763) points out that `rvm` _can_ be installed as a gem. – sarnold Oct 11 '11 at 22:20

4im on osx and i edited .profile and .bash_profile but everytime i launch the terminal i get -bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory any ideas where else could this be called from? – philberndt Feb 02 '12 at 21:47

hi sorry, I don't understand how to remove the script calls, what command do I type? – user1372829 May 18 '13 at 04:38

@philberndt I think it is somwehere in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/ – Kamil Biela Oct 09 '13 at 11:41

1@PedroC88, instead of reloading terminal, you can `. ~/.bash_profile` – max Nov 27 '13 at 03:55

1Maybe removing references in .zshrc is a good idea too. – harmeet07 Jun 12 '20 at 15:04

In `Ubuntu 22.04`, I use this - `sudo rm -rf /usr/share/rvm` – Sanaulla Feb 01 '23 at 05:33
