Removing all Homebrew stuff

By Flavio Copes

How I removed every Homebrew package to free up space, using brew remove --force with brew list to wipe all formulae and casks, then reinstalled what I needed.

Stuff just accumulates over time.

I looked into the /opt/Cellar folder, which holds all the Homebrew packages, and it was 10GB.

So I found this suggestion and ran:

brew remove --force $(brew list --formula)

and then

brew remove --cask --force $(brew list)

to remove all commands and apps installed through Homebrew.

Then I reinstalled just the thing I needed.
