I followed the instructions here: [https://caddyserver.com/docs/quick-
starts/reverse-proxy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/quick-
starts/reverse-proxy) and made a simple reverse proxy on the command
line using Caddy such as  **caddy reverse-proxy --from :2080 --to
:9000** . However, I no longer want the reverse proxy. How do I undo
this command?

Seems pretty obvious if you run it from the command-line to either use
-C to stop the interactive process or "caddy stop" if it is running in
the background. Or the brute force methods of "killall caddy" or kill
-9 \`pidof caddy\`

Stop running the process you lauched with that command. That’s it.

Thanks. That worked. For some reason I thought that command would
write a configuration file that I'd have to modify but it seems no
information is retained after restarting the process.

Configuration for what? Caddy uses the configuration. What else would?

I had this same scenario, expect my terminal session dropped and I
could not get back to the process. I thought, like OP, that this CLI
command possibly created a caddy file somewhere or updated the main
one in the the /etc/caddy/ directory, eg I was not sure if it was
going to remain persistant.
Caddy is so simple so it has a little bit of a curve to coming from
other web servers.
