# Uninstall the software from a standalone Mac

You can uninstall the software or specific modules from a Mac using the command line.

### Before you begin

You must have administrator rights to uninstall the software.

### Task

1. Open a Terminal window.
2. Type the following command, then press **return**.

| To remove... | Use this command... |
| --- | --- |
| All modules | `sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall EPM` |
| Threat Prevention module | `sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall ThreatPrevention` |
| Firewall module | `sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall Firewall` > [!NOTE] > Note > > During Firewall uninstallation, make sure to enter valid credentials to proceed when the software prompts for it. |
| Web Control module | `sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall WebControl` |
| Adaptive Threat Protection | `sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall ATP` |

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The uninstallation command is case sensitive. To uninstall Trellix ENS for Mac when Adaptive Threat Protection is installed, you must first uninstall Adaptive Threat Protection, then uninstall Threat Prevention.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> During Functional Module Platform (FMP) uninstallation, make sure to enter valid credentials to proceed when the software prompts for it.
3. Type the administrator password when prompted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> For managed Mac, when **Uninstallation** is enabled in Trellix ENS Common policy, uninstalling the software using the command line prompts you to type the password set by your Trellix ePO - On-prem server administrator.

When the software is uninstalled, the following message appears:

**Product has been uninstalled successfully.**

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> When you uninstall the software, the Trellix Agent is not uninstalled from the system. This is because it might be used by other products. Refer to the product guide of your Trellix Agent version for more information.
