What happens to my moved apps if I uninstall Storage Studio?
Short answer: Your apps aren't deleted and moved ones keep working from the drive, but nothing watches their updates and offloaded apps need Storage Studio to restore. Move back and restore first if you want them on your Mac.
Uninstalling Storage Studio never deletes your apps — anything you moved stays on your fast drive, and the shortcuts keep pointing to it. But without Storage Studio nothing watches for updaters that reinstall those apps, and offloaded apps can only be restored with it.
If you want everything back on your Mac, Move back your moved apps and Restore your offloaded ones first, then uninstall.
