# Why does the Uninstall wizard say "Nothing to revert"?

The **Revert relocated folders** option only has work to do if folders are still relocated to your external drive. Storage Studio found none — they were already moved back, removed, or you never relocated any — so that step is switched off automatically.

You can go ahead with the uninstall. Your files on the external drive are untouched either way. See [uninstalling](https://storagestudio.us/manual/uninstall).
