- Remove the configuration from
configuration.yaml
(if configured with legacy(YAMl)) or remove it using the trashbin icon on the integration page. - Restart Home Assistant important
- Restart Home Assistant (yes, this needs to be done twice) important
- Delete the
hacs
directory undercustom_components
. - Delete all files and directories containing
hacs
under the.storage
directory. - Restart Home Assistant.
When removed the wrong way. An option is to install it again. Just move hacs back to custom components and reboot. And start the remove procedure again.
