OmniRoute — Uninstall Guide

This guide covers how to cleanly remove OmniRoute from your system.

---

Quick Uninstall (v3.6.2+)

OmniRoute provides two built-in scripts for clean removal:

Keep Your Data

npm run uninstall

This removes the OmniRoute application but preserves your database, configurations, API keys, and provider settings in ~/.omniroute/. Use this if you plan to reinstall later and want to keep your setup.

Full Removal

npm run uninstall:full

This removes the application and permanently erases all data:

• Database (storage.sqlite)
• Provider configurations and API keys
• Backup files
• Log files
• All files in the ~/.omniroute/ directory

⚠️ Warning: npm run uninstall:full is irreversible. All your provider connections, combos, API keys, and usage history will be permanently deleted.
