Uninstall

Removing Olace is unremarkable on purpose. Here is the clean order of operations.

1. Sign out (optional but tidy)

Signing out revokes this machine's session and clears its pairing state:

olace signout

Or just revoke the machine later from another device (Account › Signed-in devices, or olace devices revoke <name>).

2. Remove the background service

olace service uninstall

This stops the daemon and removes its autostart entry (systemd user service on Linux, launchd agent on macOS, Task Scheduler task on Windows). Olace will not silently reinstall a service you removed on purpose.

3. Remove the app

• Windows. Uninstall Olace from Settings › Apps.
• macOS. Drag Olace from Applications to the Trash.
• Linux. Remove it the way you installed it (package manager or AppImage).
• Mobile. Delete the app as usual.

4. Remove data, if you want it gone

Olace's local data lives in one folder:

rm -rf ~/.olace

This deletes the daemon binary, configuration, device identity, CLI chat sessions, and logs on this machine. Conversations stored by the desktop app live in the same place; if you might come back, skip this step and everything will be waiting.

Ollama and llmster, LM Studio's headless daemon, install outside Olace's folder and are yours, so they and their models survive the step above. Remove them separately if you no longer want them; llmster lives in ~/.lmstudio.

If Olace installed llama.cpp for you, that build and any GGUF files it downloaded live under ~/.olace/llamacpp and go with the folder above. Models you had already downloaded yourself are only linked there, so the originals survive; the same is true of a llama-server you installed yourself.

5. Delete your account, if that is the goal

Account deletion removes your synced data and account records. Start it in the app under Account, or see account deletion.
