# Disabling Nosto

## Disabling Recommendations

If you wish to temporarily hide recommendations on your site, you can learn how to do so by reading our help article on how to [hide a recommendation](https://help.nosto.com/en/articles/618494-how-to-hide-a-recommendation).

## Uninstalling Nosto

If you wish to remove Nosto from your store, please first read our help article on [terminating service](https://help.nosto.com/en/articles/586729-how-to-terminate-service).

Removing Nosto is a two-step process.

Firstly, you will need to uninstall the Nosto app. Instructions on how to do this can be found in BigCommerce's [help article](https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/article/How-do-I-access-and-install-the-new-single-click-apps-within-my-Bigcommerce-store-control-panel#uninstalling).

Finally, you can then remove any [recommendation placeholders](/bigcommerce/installing/adding-removing-or-moving-recommendations.md) you may have added to your theme.
