Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/114

While running mkcert -install, i provided a password which I can't remember. Is there a way to delete local CA and create it again?

Yep!

# Remove the CA from trust stores
$ mkcert -uninstall
Using the local CA at "/Users/adam/Library/Application Support/mkcert" ✨
Password:
The local CA is now uninstalled from the system trust store(s)! 👋

You could then remove the certs at /Users/adam/Library/Application Support/mkcert if you wanted.

Edit: mkcert -CAROOT will output the directory where the CA is stored.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I forgot the password which I entered when running $ mkcert -install
So, I can't run uninstall as well.

Is it ok if I uninstall mkcert itself and then delete certs in the directory? Will that clean up Local CA?

You'll probably want to manually remove them from each truststore, but yea that should work.

I uninstalled mkcert itself and then deleted "/Users/adam/Library/Application Support/mkcert". That seemed to work.

Thanks!
