How to uninstall Seer on Windows

Seer previews files in place and never changes them, so removing it leaves your files alone. Its settings sit in one small folder under your profile; if you bought a Seer license, keep your license details, since a reinstall asks for them again. This guide covers Seer installed machine-wide with the official x64 installer, the one the ccseer.Seer winget package uses.

Quit Seer first

Exit Seer from its notification area icon; it keeps running in the background to answer the space bar in File Explorer. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for any Seer.exe or crashpad_handler.exe still listed before you uninstall. It added no startup entry in this test.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

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

winget uninstall --id ccseer.Seer

A machine-wide install asks for administrator access. In this test Windows held some of the uninstaller's deletions until the next restart.

Where the data lives

Location	What it holds	What to do
`%ProgramFiles%\Seer`	The program	Removed by the uninstaller; after a restart, remove what remains
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Corey\Seer`	Your Seer settings	Keep it if you might reinstall; safe to remove for a clean start
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Corey`	The developer's folder that holds `Seer`	Empty once `Seer` is gone; safe to remove if nothing else is in it
Public Desktop `Seer` shortcut	Shortcut	Removed by the uninstaller

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes and you have restarted:

Get-Process Seer -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id ccseer.Seer
Test-Path "$env:ProgramFiles\Seer"
Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Corey\Seer"

No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown.
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 after a restart means files remain there.
The second returning True means your 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 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Corey\Seer.

What Mole lists

For Seer installed machine-wide:

The program folder goes with the app row. The public Desktop shortcut and a row grouping Windows' own records of when you opened the program are selected by default.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Corey\Seer is listed but not selected, since it holds your settings.
The empty %LOCALAPPDATA%\Corey folder is not listed; remove it yourself once it is empty.
When Windows holds files for the next restart, Mole says so on the completion line.

What this test covered

Tested on September 27, 2026 with Seer 4.6.0, the x64 NSIS installer from the winget manifest, machine scope. Its uninstaller ran silently and removed the shortcut; the program folder was still there when Mole's step ran, so Mole moved it to the Recycle Bin, and the result said a restart would finish the removal. Every listed row was ticked and removed in this test. Not verified: a licensed copy, and preview plugins.
