This thread contains a useful correction. The first reply suggested zpkg uninstall, but the original poster checked zpkg --help and found that remove is the supported subcommand.
Use remove, Not uninstall
For the standard ZimaOS AI package:
zpkg remove zimaos_aiFor the Intel variant:
zpkg remove zimaos_ai_intelDo not run both commands blindly. Identify which package is actually installed first.
Why ZimaOS AI Does Not Behave Like a Normal App Card
The current ZimaOS AI installation installs the AI service itself through zpkg and documents separate package names for different acceleration paths. That explains why the dashboard entry does not necessarily expose the same three-dot uninstall flow as a normal App Store container.
The current ZimaOS AI Search also shows that ZimaOS AI participates in local feature extraction and AI Search behavior rather than acting only as a standalone web application.
Remove It If the Hardware Does Not Match the AI Workload
The original poster wanted it gone because the machine did not meet their intended AI requirements. The Ollama hardware requirements explains why local-model workloads can require far more RAM or GPU capacity than an ordinary NAS service, while the Open WebUI requirements separates a lightweight AI interface from the much heavier model runtime.
The broader ZimaOS App Store requirements is useful before adding other AI applications because package availability and actual model hardware requirements are different questions.
Confirm the Package Is Gone Before Manually Deleting Files
Use the package manager's own state and the dashboard after removal rather than manually deleting AI directories or service files. The source thread only validated the zpkg remove path; it did not establish a need for manual cleanup.
Bottom Line
To remove ZimaOS AI, use zpkg remove, not zpkg uninstall. Remove only the installed package variant, then confirm the dashboard/service state. This is a package-management workflow, which is why the AI entry may not provide the same uninstall menu as a normal App Store application.
