How to uninstall Apifox on Windows

Export API projects and environments before removing Apifox; this test did not sign in.

This guide covers Apifox 2.8.49 installed per user with winget (NSIS). The test did not sign in.

Quit Apifox first

Close Apifox. While it was running this test saw one row of 10 Apifox.exe processes. Confirm in Task Manager that they have exited before you uninstall.

Remove it with its own uninstaller

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Apifox\Uninstall Apifox.exe" /currentuser

Add /S for a silent uninstall. If Windows shows a firewall prompt, Cancel does not delete files. It leaves inbound block rules.

Where the data is

Location	What it holds	What to do
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Apifox`	The program	Removed by the silent uninstall in this test
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\apifox-updater`	Update cache	Removed this time
`%APPDATA%\apifox`	Local data and caches	Removed this time. The settings are review data. Delete them only after you know you do not need the account data
`%USERPROFILE%\.apifox-ai-agent-debugger`	A `settings.json` and an empty working directory	Not collected this time. It is settings. Delete it yourself if you want a clean start
Startup item `ApifoxAppAgent`	A per-user Run value pointing at `%APPDATA%\apifox\ApifoxAppAgent.exe`	Gone after the silent uninstall in this test

winget uninstall --id Ruihu.Apifox removes the uninstall entry, and leaves the program folder, the updater folder and %APPDATA%\apifox. Those show up as leftovers of an uninstalled app only after the entry has been gone for a while.

Check the result

Get-Process Apifox -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Apifox"
Test-Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.apifox-ai-agent-debugger"

No output from Get-Process only means no matching process was seen.
False on the second line means the program folder is gone.
True on the third means the debugger settings folder is still there.

What Mole lists

Location	Item	Default
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Apifox`	Program files	Goes with the app row
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\apifox-updater`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox`	Settings or app data; review before removal	Listed but not selected
`%APPDATA%\apifox\Cache`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox\Code Cache`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox\DawnGraphiteCache`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox\DawnWebGPUCache`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox\GPUCache`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\apifox\logs`	Cache, logs or app support files; check the named folder	Selected by default
`%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Apifox.lnk`	Shortcut	Selected by default
`HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\apifox`	Registry entry	Selected by default
`HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ApifoxAppAgent`	Startup entry	Listed but not selected
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Apifox`	Usage records for this program	Selected by default

Selecting the listed data removed the app, updater, profile, protocol and startup registration. %USERPROFILE%.apifox-ai-agent-debugger remained unlisted, with settings.json. The two inbound firewall block rules were reported but left alone. A separate winget removal left profile and program folders, which later appeared in Clean for review.

These defaults assume Remove data and settings with apps is off. Explicit Select all or Also remove user data can include the listed personal-data rows. Check the selection before confirming. Selected files that Mole removes go to the Recycle Bin; selected registry entries are backed up before removal. The vendor uninstaller has its own deletion behavior.
