# rclone config unset

Unset options in an existing remote.

## Synopsis

Remove one or more options from an existing remote. The options to
remove should be passed in as a list of key names.

For example, to remove the `client_id` and `client_secret` options from
a remote of name myremote you would do:

```sh
rclone config unset myremote client_id client_secret
```

This removes the keys from the config file entirely, which is different
from setting them to an empty string with `config update`. Removing a
key restores rclone's default behaviour for that option, whereas setting
it to an empty string overrides the default with an empty value.

You can't unset the `type` of a remote - use `config delete` to remove
the whole remote instead.

```
rclone config unset name [key]+ [flags]
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help   help for unset
```

See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
