Can I uninstall Storage Studio by dragging it to the Trash?
Short answer: Dragging to the Trash removes only the app and leaves the background service, settings and relocated items behind. Use More → Uninstall Storage Studio… or Reset Storage Studio… to clean up properly.
You can, but it's not the best way. Dragging the app to the Trash removes only the app: the background service, Storage Studio's settings and every relocated item are left behind — the moved items keep their shortcuts pointing to a drive nothing is managing any more.
Instead, use More → Uninstall Storage Studio… or Reset Storage Studio…. Both stop the background service properly, and both can put your moved folders back before removing anything.
If you've already dragged the app away, reinstall it from storagestudio.us and run the uninstaller or Reset from there.
