# Uninstall

> Uninstalling the Algolia Netlify plugin.

## Temporarily turn off the plugin

To temporarily turn off the plugin,
add the following environment variable in Netlify,
under **Deploy > Settings > Build & Deploy > Environment**.

```dotenv .env icon=lock-keyhole theme={"system"}
ALGOLIA_DISABLED=true
```

## Uninstall the plugin

You can uninstall the plugin in one of these ways:

* **[Crawler Admin Console](https://crawler.algolia.com/admin/netlify)**: click **Uninstall**.
  It automatically removes the environment variables and deletes associated data from Algolia.

* **[Netlify plugins](https://app.netlify.com/plugins)**: click **Options > Uninstall plugin**.
  This doesn't remove your data on Algolia. To do this, go to the [Algolia dashboard](https://dashboard.algolia.com).
  If you don't want to use Algolia anymore you can also [delete your Algolia account](https://support.algolia.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406981837457-How-do-I-delete-my-account-).
