Uninstalling evoftp

To uninstall evoftp, delete the program file; there is no installer and nothing runs in the background. Delete the config folder as well if you want every trace gone. The steps below cover both, per operating system.

Overview: evoftp guide.

Removing the program

1. Quit evoftp.
2. Windows — delete evoftp-windows.exe from wherever you kept it. It does not appear in Apps & features because it was never installed.
3. macOS — drag the evoftp app from Applications to the Bin.
4. Linux — delete evoftp-linux.AppImage.

Removing saved servers, settings and passwords

These stay behind in the config folder so that a reinstall picks them up. For a clean slate, delete the folder:

• Windows — %APPDATA%\evoftp
• macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/evoftp
• Linux — ~/.config/evoftp

That folder holds your saved passwords, so delete it before passing the computer on. Any .evoftp connection files you downloaded from the client area contain the password too — delete those from your Downloads folder as well.

Windows: the file-type registration

On every launch the portable exe registers the .evoftp file type and evoftp:// links for your user account only, without admin rights. Once the exe is gone these entries are harmless: double-clicking a .evoftp file just fails to find the program. To remove them, open a Command Prompt and run:

reg delete HKCU\Software\Classes\.evoftp /f
reg delete HKCU\Software\Classes\evoftp.connection /f
reg delete HKCU\Software\Classes\evoftp /f

The first two are the file type, the third is the evoftp:// link handler. Nothing is written under HKLM.

macOS: nothing else to clean

evoftp does not use the Keychain, so there are no Keychain items to remove. The .evoftp file association is part of the app bundle and goes with it.

Linux: AppImageLauncher

If you integrated evoftp with AppImageLauncher, it moved the AppImage into ~/Applications and added a menu entry. Use AppImageLauncher’s own Remove option on that entry, or delete the file from ~/Applications and the matching .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications. Without AppImageLauncher there is nothing beyond the file itself.

Note: uninstalling evoftp changes nothing on your seedbox. Your files and your SFTP login stay as they are.
