How to uninstall Tiger Trade on Windows

Your brokerage account, positions and orders live with Tiger Brokers, not in the Tiger Trade app, and uninstalling the desktop app changes none of them. What stays on this PC is the app's own data folder with its local settings. This guide covers Tiger Trade installed machine-wide with the installer from itiger.com.

Quit Tiger Trade first

Sign out if you want, then quit Tiger Trade. It runs several processes, TigerTrade.exe, TigerTradeBrowser.exe and TigerTradeService.exe, so check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for any of them still listed before you uninstall. The installer starts the app on its own when it finishes, so it may be running even if you never opened it.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Tiger Trade, and choose Uninstall. The app is installed machine-wide, so Windows asks for administrator access. The uninstaller removes the program folder and the desktop and Start Menu shortcuts.

Where the data lives

Location	What it holds	What to do
`%APPDATA%\TigerTrade`	Local settings and cached app data	Keep it if you are reinstalling soon; remove it for a clean start
`HKCU\SOFTWARE\TigerTrade`	A small settings key	Safe to remove if you are not reinstalling
`tb`, `tigerbrokersusstock` and `tigertrade` under `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes`	Link registrations the installer made for the whole machine	Harmless; removing them needs administrator access, so leave them unless you want them gone

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes:

Get-Process TigerTrade* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Test-Path "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\TigerTrade"
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\TigerTrade"
Test-Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\TigerTrade"
Test-Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\tigertrade"

No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown.
The first Test-Path returning False means the program folder is gone.
The next two returning True mean your local settings are still there, which is expected unless you removed them yourself.
The last returning True means the machine-wide tigertrade link key is still there.

Account

Uninstalling does not close your Tiger Brokers account, cancel open orders or sign you out on your phone. Manage those in the app on another device or on Tiger Brokers' website.

What Mole lists

For Tiger Trade installed machine-wide from the vendor installer:

The program folder goes with the app row. The desktop shortcut, the Tiger Trade Start Menu folder and a row grouping Windows' own records of when you opened the program are selected by default.
%APPDATA%\TigerTrade and HKCU\SOFTWARE\TigerTrade are listed but not selected, since they hold your settings.
The three link keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes are not listed.
