Hi there,
In case that you’ve followed the steps from this tutorial here, in order to remove composer you could delete the binary file from /usr/local/bin/composer. To do so you can use the rm command for example:
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/composer
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
To uninstall Composer 2 that was installed with sudo, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Composer Binary
Check where the Composer binary is installed. It’s typically located in one of these paths:
/usr/local/bin/composer/usr/bin/composer
To confirm, run:
which composer
2. Remove the Composer Binary
Once you’ve located the Composer binary, delete it using sudo:
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/composer
