Uninstalling Echo-Notes

Echo-Notes supports multiple uninstallation methods depending on how you installed it..

1. One-Click Installer or Unified Installer

If you used the installer script or the wrapper script, uninstaller scripts should be available in your home directory.

Run the uninstaller:

On Linux/macOS:

./uninstall.sh

Or use the Python uninstaller:

python3 uninstall.py

Note: If you don't see the uninstaller scripts in your home directory after using the standard installer, try using our wrapper script instead:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18c83fd3-25ea-4ed9-8205-2abeff9b3883/Echo-Notes/main/install_echo_notes.sh
chmod +x install_echo_notes.sh
./install_echo_notes.sh

This wrapper script ensures that uninstaller scripts are properly created in your home directory.

On Windows:

uninstall.bat

The uninstaller will:

  • Stop Echo-Notes processes
  • Remove desktop shortcuts and icons
  • Remove systemd service or startup entries
  • Ask whether to keep your notes (default: yes)
  • Ask whether to remove the installation directory

2. Python-Based Uninstallation (All Platforms)

You can also run the platform-independent Python script:

python uninstall.py

Options:

  • --help: Show help message
  • --install-dir DIR: Specify installation directory
  • --purge: Remove everything including your notes (USE WITH CAUTION)

3. Manual Cleanup

If needed, remove the following manually:

  • Virtual environment folder (e.g., echo_notes_venv/)
  • Desktop shortcut files
  • Installed Echo-Notes files in your preferred directory
  • Any symbolic links in ~/.local/bin or similar
  • Systemd service files in ~/.config/systemd/user/
  • Autostart entries in ~/.config/autostart/

Resetting Notes or Configuration

If you want to reset just the configuration without uninstalling:

rm -rf ~/.config/echo-notes/

Or delete shared/schedule_config.json to restore schedule defaults.

For reinstall instructions, see manual_install.md.
