# masterskills remove

> Uninstall skills from this machine — files, links, and local state.

```bash theme={"dark"}
masterskills remove <slugs...>

masterskills remove @acme/legacy-deploy
```

Removes the skill from the central store and deletes its links from every agent's skills directory. **Local only** — the skill remains published in the registry and installed on other machines.

Typical use: cleaning up after an org archived a skill (it shows up under `removed` in [`update --check`](/cli/update)), or dropping something you no longer need.

<Warning>
  For agents: removal is a disk write — confirm with the user first, like every other one.
</Warning>

Retiring a skill for the **whole organization** is a different command: [`masterskills unpublish`](/cli/unpublish).
