title: How to uninstall chef-client and the whole Chef package
body: <p>Is uninstalling Chef-Client just as easy as removing the directory, and making sure its not in the rc files? Is there a way to use knife to uninstall chef-client?</p>

  <p>Updating this question to say, how to remove chef and all its other pieces from OS X, and Linux after using 1.) The Omnibus installer, and 2.) A bootstrapped node? Since I was trying to use Chef on my Mac, and had RVM installed, chef would not work, so now, I need to figure out how to remove chef. </p>

  Seems Opscode has put out their own instructions for uninstalling ChefDK. As far as the agent goes, it'd be the same method, using the package manager, or Add/Remove Programs.<br>
