Uninstall

CorridorKey writes only to its own folders, plus the results you ask for (next to your clips, or in the folder you chose). Your clips and results are never removed by any of the steps below.

What it keeps, and where

What	Linux	Windows	macOS
The app	the AppImage you downloaded (and, after updates, the previous version and a CorridorKey-Desktop.AppImage link next to it)	the install folder (Apps & features)	CorridorKey.app in Applications
GPU runtime and models (and TensorRT's libraries and models, Linux)	~/.local/share/corridorkey-desktop	%LOCALAPPDATA%\corridorkey-desktop	~/Library/Application Support/corridorkey-desktop
Thumbnails, result stills, TensorRT engines built for your card	~/.cache/corridorkey-desktop	%LOCALAPPDATA%\corridorkey-desktop\cache	~/Library/Caches/corridorkey-desktop
Settings (a few KB), and from 1.0.0-dev.2 the Console's history (console-history.jsonl, the newest 5000 lines) and its log of sudo commands (console-audit.jsonl, never pruned)	~/.config/corridorkey-desktop	%APPDATA%\corridorkey-desktop	~/Library/Application Support/corridorkey-desktop (with the data)

On Linux, ~/.local/share and ~/.cache are $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CACHE_HOME if you set those. How big each part is: the engineering notes' Uninstall section, or App settings → Storage on your own PC.

If you moved the cache folder (App settings → Storage → Change…), the cache is in a corridorkey-desktop folder inside the location you picked instead.

Freeing space without uninstalling

App settings → Storage shows each folder's real size, with Open (shows it in your file manager) and Remove… (it asks first). You can remove the runtime, the models or the cache; the setup downloads them again when needed. On Linux, TensorRT is its own item: its libraries and models, and the engines built for your card. Your settings and results are never touched there.

The cache also looks after itself: result stills older than 30 days go, and it never grows past 500 MB. Each job's working files are removed when the job ends, and anything a crash left behind at the next start.

Linux

1. Quit CorridorKey.

2. Delete the AppImage (and, if it updated itself, the other CorridorKey-Desktop-*.AppImage files and the CorridorKey-Desktop.AppImage link in the same folder).

3. Delete the three folders:

   rm -rf ~/.local/share/corridorkey-desktop ~/.cache/corridorkey-desktop ~/.config/corridorkey-desktop
   

   (and the corridorkey-desktop folder in your own cache location, if you moved it).

Windows

1. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Apps & features), find CorridorKey and choose Uninstall.

2. The uninstaller asks whether to also remove the downloaded GPU runtime, models and cache, and the settings:

   Also remove CorridorKey's downloaded GPU runtime, models and cache (up to about 6 GB) and its settings?

   Choose Yes to remove %LOCALAPPDATA%\corridorkey-desktop and %APPDATA%\corridorkey-desktop too, or No to keep them (for example to reinstall later without downloading again). Your clips and results are not touched.

3. If you moved the cache folder somewhere else, delete the corridorkey-desktop folder there yourself.

Installing a newer version over an old one never asks and keeps everything.

macOS

1. Quit CorridorKey.
2. Move CorridorKey.app from Applications to the Bin.
3. Delete its two folders (Finder: Go → Go to Folder…): ~/Library/Application Support/corridorkey-desktop and ~/Library/Caches/corridorkey-desktop (and the corridorkey-desktop folder in your own cache location, if you moved it).
