How to uninstall Heybox Accelerator on Windows

Heybox Accelerator (小黑盒加速器) keeps your sign-in and membership on Heybox's servers, so there is little on this PC to save; its local profile holds the app's sign-in state and settings. Stop any active acceleration and close the games it was accelerating before you remove it. This guide covers Heybox Accelerator installed machine-wide from the Qingfeng.HeyboxAccelerator winget package.

Quit Heybox Accelerator first

Stop acceleration, then quit the app from its tray icon. It asks for administrator access every time it starts and runs several processes, so check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for anything from Program Files (x86)\Qingfeng\HeyboxAccelerator still listed before you uninstall.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find 小黑盒加速器, and choose Uninstall, or run:

winget uninstall --id Qingfeng.HeyboxAccelerator

The uninstaller copies itself to a temporary folder and opens its own window: click 卸载 (Uninstall), wait, then click 完成 (Finish). It removes the program files and the desktop and Start Menu shortcuts.

Where the data lives

Location	What it holds	What to do
`%APPDATA%\heybox-acc-electron`	The app's profile: sign-in state, settings and caches	Remove it for a clean start; keep it if you are reinstalling soon
`HKCU\SOFTWARE\Qingfeng\HeyboxAcc`	Small settings key	Safe to remove if you are not reinstalling
`%USERPROFILE%\.heyboxacc.conf`	A small configuration file	Safe to remove
`%APPDATA%\heybox_acc_go.log` and `%APPDATA%\heyboxbrowser.exe.log`	Log files	Safe to remove
`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Qingfeng\HeyboxAccelerator`	The program folder, emptied by the uninstaller	Empty; remove it yourself if you like, which needs administrator access
The `Qingfeng` folder in the Start Menu	An empty Start Menu folder	Empty; remove it if you like

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes:

winget list --id Qingfeng.HeyboxAccelerator
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\heybox-acc-electron"
Test-Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Qingfeng\HeyboxAcc"
Test-Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.heyboxacc.conf"
Get-ChildItem "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Qingfeng\HeyboxAccelerator" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

A completed winget list query with no match means the package record is gone; a matching row means the uninstall did not finish.
Test-Path returning True for the profile or the settings key means they are still there, which is expected unless you removed them yourself.
Test-Path returning True for .heyboxacc.conf means the configuration file is still in your user folder.
Get-ChildItem returning nothing cannot distinguish an empty, absent or unreadable program folder; listed files mean the uninstall did not finish.

If you installed it with winget

winget uninstall runs the same uninstaller Settings › Apps uses, with the same window to click through; it does not touch %APPDATA%\heybox-acc-electron or the settings key.

Account and membership

Uninstalling does not cancel an accelerator membership; it stays with your Heybox account.

What Mole lists

For Heybox Accelerator installed machine-wide from winget:

The desktop and Start Menu shortcuts are selected by default; in this test the uninstaller had already deleted them.
%APPDATA%\heybox-acc-electron is listed but not selected, since it holds your sign-in state and settings.
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Qingfeng\HeyboxAcc is listed but not selected.
.heyboxacc.conf, the two log files, the emptied program folder and the empty Qingfeng Start Menu folder are not listed. Check them after the uninstall and remove them yourself.

What this test covered

Tested on September 26, 2026 with Heybox Accelerator 1.1.92 installed through winget, machine scope, and removed with its own uninstaller window, clicked through on its default path. Both listed data rows were ticked and removed in this test. Not verified: a signed-in account, or acceleration of a running game.
