Uninstall MATLAB Toolboxes and Support Packages

To uninstall toolboxes, products, support packages, or other add-ons from MATLAB®, follow these steps:

  1. On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Add-Ons, and then click Manage Add-Ons.

  2. In the Add-On Manager window, locate the add-on you want to uninstall. Then click the ellipsis menu to its right, and click Uninstall.

If you already uninstalled MATLAB, all toolboxes and products for that MATLAB release are also uninstalled. However, support packages, locally installed documentation, and optional features such as datasets, however, remain installed in the support package root folder. You can manually delete this folder, which by default is located here:

  • Windows®C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R20XXy

  • Linux®/home/$USER/Documents/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R20XXy

  • macOS/Users/$USER/Documents/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R20XXy

R20XXy is the MATLAB release, and $USER is your Linux or macOS username.
