SYNOPSIS

       datalad-uninstall  [-h]  [-d DATASET] [-r] [--nocheck] [--if-dirty {fail,save-before,ignore}] [PATH [PATH
              ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       Uninstall subdatasets

       This command can be used to uninstall any number of installed subdataset.  If  a  to-be-uninstalled  sub‐
       dataset  contains  presently  installed subdatasets itself, their recursive removal has to be enabled ex‐
       plicitly to avoid the command to exit with an error. This command  will  error  if  individual  files  or
       non-dataset  directories  are  given  as  input  (use the drop or remove command depending in the desired
       goal), nor will it uninstall top-level datasets (i.e. datasets  that  or  not  a  subdataset  in  another
       dataset; use the remove command for this purpose).

       By default, the availability of at least one remote copy for each currently available file in any dataset
       is verified. As these checks could lead to slow operation (network latencies, etc), they can be disabled.

       Any  number  of paths to process can be given as input. Recursion into subdatasets needs to be explicitly
       enabled, while recursion in subdirectories within a dataset as always done automatically. An optional re‐
       cursion limit is applied relative to each given input path.

       Examples:

       Uninstall a subdataset (undo installation)::

         ~/some/dataset$ datalad uninstall somesubdataset1

OPTIONS

       PATH   path/name of the component to be uninstalled. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None]

       -h, --help, --help-np
              show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying  the  help
              message

       -d DATASET, --dataset DATASET
              specify  the  dataset  to  perform the operation on. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to
              identify a dataset based on the PATH given. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid  iden‐
              tifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) [Default: None]

       -r, --recursive
              if set, recurse into potential subdataset. [Default: False]

       --nocheck
              whether  to  perform checks to assure the configured minimum number (remote) source for data. Give
              this option to skip checks. [Default: True]

       --if-dirty {fail, save-before, ignore}
              desired behavior if a dataset with unsaved changes is discovered: 'fail' will trigger an error and
              further processing is aborted; 'save-before' will save all changes prior any further action;  'ig‐
              nore'  let's datalad proceed as if the dataset would not have unsaved changes. [Default: 'save-be‐
              fore']
