How to uninstall chef-client and the whole Chef package
Is uninstalling Chef-Client just as easy as removing the directory, and making sure its not in the rc files? Is there a way to use knife to uninstall chef-client?

Updating this question to say, how to remove chef and all its other pieces from OS X, and Linux after using 1.) The Omnibus installer, and 2.) A bootstrapped node? Since I was trying to use Chef on my Mac, and had RVM installed, chef would not work, so now, I need to figure out how to remove chef.

Seems Opscode has put out their own instructions for uninstalling ChefDK. As far as the agent goes, it'd be the same method, using the package manager, or Add/Remove Programs.

Answer
To help answer my own question, I found that depending on how you install Chef, depends on how you uninstall it. You can do the:
Redhat/CentOS
rpm -qa *chef*
yum remove <package>
Or if you installed it with ruby gems:
gem uninstall chef-<version>
However, for using an Omnibus installer, there wasn't an RPM package, and on my Mac OSX 10.6.8, I couldn't find anything about it. So, I realized that chef is self-contained, so I just deleted the directory in the /opt/ directory. Once I did that, I was able to use my RVM Ruby's.

Opscode provides their own instructions for uninstalling ChefDK, and the Agent.
