# Should I remove Storage Studio from Privacy & Security after uninstalling?

You can, for tidiness. macOS keeps permission records even after an app is gone, so Storage Studio may still be listed under **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access** (and Login Items).

To remove it, select **Storage Studio** in the list and click the **–** button. If you reinstall later, you'll simply be asked for Full Disk Access again.
