+=========================
+Uninstalling certbot-auto
+=========================
+
+To uninstall ``certbot-auto``, you need to do three things:
+
+1. If you added a cron job or systemd timer to automatically run
+   ``certbot-auto`` to renew your certificates, you should delete it. If you
+   did this by following our instructions, you can delete the entry added to
+   ``/etc/crontab`` by running a command like ``sudo sed -i '/certbot-auto/d'
+   /etc/crontab``.
+2. Delete the ``certbot-auto`` script. If you placed it in ``/usr/local/bin``
+   like we recommended, you can delete it by running ``sudo rm
+   /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto``.
+3. Delete the Certbot installation created by ``certbot-auto`` by running
+   ``sudo rm -rf /opt/eff.org``.
