What Uninstalling the App Does NOT Remove
Uninstalling Comfy Desktop only removes the launcher app itself. The following data is not removed and must be deleted manually if you want a complete cleanup:
| Data | Default Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Installations | %USERPROFILE%\ComfyUI-Installs |
Each ComfyUI installation you created (can also be deleted from within the app). Custom install paths are also not removed. |
| Shared models & outputs | %USERPROFILE%\ComfyUI-Shared |
Shared model library, input/output directories |
| App settings & registry | %APPDATA%\Comfy Desktop |
Settings, installation records, logs |
The directories listed above contain your personal ComfyUI data — models, outputs, settings, and installations. They are not Comfy Desktop application files. Deleting them will permanently remove your data.
To fully remove everything:
- Delete the app data folder –
%APPDATA%\Comfy Desktop - Delete individual installations from within the app, or manually delete
%USERPROFILE%\ComfyUI-Installs - Delete the shared model library at
%USERPROFILE%\ComfyUI-Shared(only if you no longer need these files)
