# Will uninstalling an app delete the documents I made with it?

No. Uninstall only collects the app and files in your Library whose names clearly belong to that app. Documents you saved in your own folders — Documents, Desktop, iCloud Drive and so on — aren't included.

One thing to check: some apps keep their own data inside their support or container folder. Look over the list before confirming, and untick anything you want to keep.
