How to uninstall electerm on Windows

electerm keeps your saved SSH, SFTP and other connection profiles in its own data folder, and removing the app does not clear them. Back that folder up first if you might reinstall. This guide covers electerm installed per-user from the electerm.electerm winget package. electerm

Quit electerm first

Close every electerm window and any open terminal sessions inside it, then check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for any electerm process still listed before you uninstall.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find electerm, and choose Uninstall, or run:

winget uninstall --id electerm.electerm

Back up before you remove data

Copy %APPDATA%\electerm before you clear it if you want to keep your saved connections and settings.

Where the data lives

Location	What it holds	What to do
`%APPDATA%\electerm`	Saved connections, settings and the app's own caches	Back this up first; the uninstaller does not remove it
`%APPDATA%\electerm\Cache`, `Code Cache`, `DawnGraphiteCache`, `DawnWebGPUCache`, `GPUCache`, `logs`	Editor caches and logs	Safe to remove after quitting
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\electerm-updater`	Downloaded update installers	Safe to remove

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes:

Get-Process electerm -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id electerm.electerm
Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\electerm"
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\electerm"

No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown. A listed process means a window or helper is still open.
A completed winget list query with no match means the package record is gone; a matching row means the uninstall did not finish.
The first Test-Path returning False means the program folder is gone; True means files remain there.
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\electerm" returning True means your saved connections and settings are still there, which is expected unless you removed them yourself.

If you installed it with winget

winget uninstall runs the same uninstaller Settings › Apps uses and removes the same program files; it does not touch %APPDATA%\electerm on its own.

What Mole lists

For electerm installed per-user from winget:

The program folder, desktop shortcut and Start Menu shortcut are selected by default.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\electerm-updater is selected by default.
%APPDATA%\electerm is listed but not selected, since it holds your saved connections and settings; the caches and logs inside it are listed on their own and selected by default.
A .vv file-type association electerm registers is not part of this list, since other tools can share that extension.

What this test covered

Tested with electerm 5.5.35 installed through winget, per-user scope, on an ARM64 test VM. No saved connections were created during the test.
