Getting started · Quitting, restarting and uninstalling
What happens to my moved files if I uninstall Storage Studio?
Short answer: Nothing is deleted. Moved files stay on your external drive unless you ask the uninstaller to revert them, and Reset Storage Studio puts everything back on your Mac before it removes anything.
Nothing is deleted. Uninstalling never removes your files — anything Storage Studio moved to your external drive stays there.
You choose whether to bring things back:
- Tick Revert relocated folders in the uninstaller to bring moved folders back to your Mac where it can; anything it can't put back stays safely on the drive for you to copy back any time.
- Reset Storage Studio… puts everything it moved back on your Mac first, before removing anything.
If you skip both, moved items stay on the drive and the shortcuts on your Mac keep pointing to them while the drive is connected.
