Uninstall

Storage Studio is removable in three steps. There is no "secret" file the uninstaller leaves behind.

Use the in-app uninstall wizard (recommended)

Storage Studio → Uninstall… opens a three-step wizard:

1. Restore relocated apps. Any application you moved is put back in

your Applications folder, and the shortcuts left behind are removed.

1. Restore relocated files. Optionally walks every recorded

move/relocate and reverses it. Files return to their original internal location.

1. Remove app + data. Removes the Storage Studio app along with

the private data folder it keeps in your home folder.

You can stop at step 1 or 2 if you want to keep your tier layout.

Manual uninstall

If the wizard isn't available, you can remove everything by hand:

1. Quit Storage Studio, then drag Storage Studio from your

Applications folder to the Trash.

1. In Finder, choose Go → Go to Folder…, enter ~ (your home

folder), and move Storage Studio's private data folder to the Trash. It's a hidden folder; press ⌘⇧. to show hidden items.

1. (Optional) On your external drive, Storage Studio keeps a small

hidden state folder inside its working folder — move that to the Trash too if you want a completely clean removal.

Manual uninstall does not restore relocated files or apps. Those keep their shortcuts. Use the in-app wizard if you want them back.

What stays behind

• Files you moved out to your fast drive stay where they are. Storage

Studio is a manager; uninstalling it doesn't migrate files back unless you ask it to in step 2.

• macOS keeps permissions records — you may want to remove the

Storage Studio entry from System Settings → Privacy & Security.
