r/ROCm on Reddit: Help uninstalling old ROCM 7 nightly version on Ubuntu?
November 6, 2025 -
I installed the nightly version of ROCM that was released about a month ago, and while the speed boost was impressive, its definitely less stable.
I see there's a new official version of ROCM 7 out and I'd like to test it to see if it's more stable and maybe even offers a bit more speed.
How do I uninstall the old nightly version of ROCM on Ubuntu so I can install the new version?

sudo amdgpu-install --uninstall I've stopped using the official releases and switched to TheRock , as it can be set up without system-wide changes.
Removing old ROCm version without breaking anything?
We always deinstall the ROCm packages, delete all the files associated with it, and then reinstall. That proved to be the only way for having a functional installation. Otherwise there would be different parts installed in different versions. There is a lot happening with ROCm, but the whole installation and packaging is still a mess. Our admin, who I have to bother regularly because of it, declared ROCm not to be ready for production systems. More on reddit.com

You can safely remove the proprietary AMD drivers and just use the Mesa drivers. Unless you are using the proprietary drivers for something specific? More on reddit.com

It looks like ROCm 3.10's come in. I installed it without issue, but the 3.9.0 install is also still present. What's the best strategy for removing an old ROCm version without breakage? Thanks.

I found having a clean reinstall of Ubuntu (or other distro) is the easiest way ;)

May 6, 2025 -
I have a pretty small main drive on my laptop, and after installing new AMD-drivers the rocm-folder is taking up a whopping 30GB of space. Since I only got 100GB on the root partition this is an issue. Can I safely uninstall ROCM, as I read that it's only needed as a CUDA-eqivalent for programming, or are there actual graphics drivers involved? Thanks
