This page explains how to migrate your Docker Toolbox installation to Docker Desktop.
It also contains instructions on how to uninstall Docker Toolbox from Mac and Windows machines.
## Migrate from Docker Toolbox to Docker Desktop
Uninstalling Docker Toolbox will remove your local image cache, volumes, containers,
and other data stored in Docker. Refer to the [back up and restore data](../desktop/backup-and-restore.md)
documentation before uninstalling Docker Toolbox, to learn how to back up your
data.
## Uninstall Docker Toolbox
Removing Toolbox involves removing all the Docker components it includes.
A full uninstall also includes removing the local and remote machines
you created with Docker Machine. In some cases, you might want to keep
machines created with Docker Machine. For example, if you plan to re-install
Docker Machine as a part of Docker Desktop, you can continue to manage those
machines through Docker. Or, if you have remote machines on a cloud provider and
you plan to manage them using the provider, you wouldn't want to remove
them. So, the step to remove machines is described here as optional.
### Uninstall Docker Toolbox on Mac
To uninstall Docker Toolbox on Mac:
1. List your machines.
```console
$ docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
dev * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
my-docker-machine virtualbox Stopped
default virtualbox Stopped
```
2. Optionally, remove each machine. For example:
```console
$ docker-machine rm my-docker-machine
Successfully removed my-docker-machine
```
This step is optional because if you plan
to re-install Docker Machine as a part
of [Docker Desktop for Mac](../docker-for-mac/index.md), you can import and
continue to manage those machines through Docker.
3. In your "Applications" folder, remove the "Docker" directory,
which contains "Docker Quickstart Terminal" and "Kitematic".
4. Run the following in a command shell to fully remove Kitematic:
```console
$ rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kitematic
```
5. Remove the `docker`, `docker-compose`, and `docker-machine` commands from
the `/usr/local/bin` folder. Docker Desktop for Mac and Brew may also have
installed them; in case of doubt leave them, or reinstall them via Brew, or
rerun Docker Desktop for Mac (no need to reinstall it).
```console
$ rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker
$ rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
```
6. Optionally, remove the `~/.docker/machine` directory.
This directory stores some configuration and/or state, such as information
about created machines and certificates.
7. Uninstall Oracle VirtualBox, which is installed as a part of the
Toolbox install.
### Uninstall Docker Toolbox on Windows
To uninstall Toolbox on Windows:
1. List your machines.
```console
$ docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
dev * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
my-docker-machine virtualbox Stopped
default virtualbox Stopped
```
2. Optionally, remove each machine. For example:
```console
$ docker-machine rm my-docker-machine
Successfully removed my-docker-machine
```
This step is optional because if you plan to re-install Docker Machine as a
part of [Docker Desktop for Windows](../docker-for-windows/index.md), you can
import and continue to manage those machines through Docker.
3. Uninstall Docker Toolbox using Window's standard process for uninstalling programs through the control panel (programs and features).
>**Note**: This process does not remove the `docker-install.exe` file. You must delete that file yourself.
4. Optionally, remove the `C:\Users\<your-user>\.docker` directory.
If you want to remove Docker entirely, you
can verify that the uninstall removed
the `.docker` directory under your user path.
If it is still there, remove it manually.
This directory stores some Docker
program configuration and state, such as
information about created machines and
certificates. You usually don't need to remove this directory.
5. Uninstall Oracle VirtualBox, which is
installed as a part of the Toolbox install.
