Uninstall

For all Ubuntu and Debian versions

sudo apt remove tailscale -y

If you’d like to completely delete Tailscale, destroying any state or local information, you can also remove the file at:

rm /var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.state

After uninstalling Tailscale, if you install Tailscale on a device again at a later time, it will have a new IP address.
