# Can I get an app back after uninstalling it with Storage Studio?

Yes, until you empty the Trash. Storage Studio's Uninstall moves the app and its leftover files to the **Trash** rather than deleting them, so you can select them there and choose **Put Back**.

Once the Trash is emptied they're gone; reinstall the app from its developer or the App Store instead.
