# How to completely uninstall BoltAI

In some cases, you might want to completely uninstall BoltAI to start anew. There are 2 ways you can do it:

1. Using a third-party tool
2. Do it manually

### Using a third-party tool

The easiest way to uninstall BoltAI is to use a specialized tool. I recommend using [AppCleaner](https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/) or [CleanMyMac](https://cleanmymac.com) (also available on Setapp)

Note that it may delete all your BoltAI data. If you wanted to backup your data first, choose the manual method below.

### Uninstall BoltAI manually

BoltAI store your data in the following location:

**For Standalone version:**

* All of your chat data, including generated images, are stored in `~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT`
* Your preferences are stored in `~/Library/Preferences/co.podzim.BoltGPT.plist`

**For Setapp version:**

* All of your chat data, including generated images, are stored in `~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT-setapp`
* Your preferences are stored in `~/Library/Preferences/co.podzim.BoltGPT-setapp.plist`

You can make a backup of these files & folders, then delete them and restart BoltAI.
