# Uninstalling Première Copilot

> Completely remove the extension and all of its files from Windows or macOS.

Première Copilot installs in **two places only**:

1. The **extension folder** (the CEP extension + the local API engine), installed system-wide.
2. A **data folder** in your Documents (cache, transcriptions, generated files, presets).

Deleting both removes the software completely. Follow the steps for your operating system.

<Warning>
  **Close Adobe Premiere Pro (and DaVinci Resolve) before you start.** Files that are in use cannot be deleted, and Premiere Pro must not be running when the extension folder is removed.
</Warning>

## Windows

### 1. Delete the extension folder

All extension files live under the Adobe CEP extensions folder in **Common Files**. Paste this path in the **File Explorer** address bar:

```bash theme={null}
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\
```

Delete the folder(s) below that exist on your machine — depending on which installer you used, only one of them will be present:

| Version         | Folder to delete                                                                                      |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Beta / standard | `PremiereGPTBeta`                                                                                     |
| aescripts       | `PremiereGPTaescripts`                                                                                |
| aescripts GenAI | `PremiereGPTaescripts_genai`                                                                          |
| Older versions  | `PremiereCopilot`                                                                                     |
| DaVinci Resolve | `C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Workflow Integration Plugins\davinciClaude` |

<Info>
  Deleting these folders requires **administrator rights**. Windows will ask you to confirm — click **Continue**.
</Info>

<Tip>
  The **aescripts** version also registers a classic uninstaller. You can remove it from **Settings > Apps > Installed apps > PremiereGPTaescripts** instead of deleting the folder by hand.
</Tip>

### 2. Delete the data folder

This folder holds the cache, thumbnails, transcriptions, generated audio and presets. Paste this in the File Explorer address bar (replace nothing — `%USERPROFILE%` resolves automatically):

```bash theme={null}
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\Premiere Copilot
```

Delete the whole **Premiere Copilot** folder. It contains the following subfolders created at install time:

`audio_sync` · `image_generation` · `matplotlib_cache` · `music_analysis` · `rush_db` · `script` · `seq_preset` · `sfx` · `temp` · `thumbnails` · `transcription_analysis`

<Warning>
  If you saved anything of your own in these folders (custom sequence presets in `seq_preset`, generated files in `image_generation` or `sfx`), back it up before deleting.
</Warning>

### 3. (Optional) Remove the debug registry key

The installer enables Adobe's unsigned-extension mode. It is shared by **all** CEP extensions, so only remove it if you use no other third-party Premiere Pro extension.

Open **Registry Editor** (`regedit`) and delete the `PlayerDebugMode` value in:

```bash theme={null}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.11
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.12
```

<Warning>
  Removing `PlayerDebugMode` will break any other unsigned extension you have installed. If in doubt, leave it as it is — it has no effect once Première Copilot is gone.
</Warning>

## macOS

### 1. Delete the extension folder

Open **Finder**, press `Cmd + Shift + G`, and paste:

```bash theme={null}
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/
```

Delete the folder(s) below that exist on your machine:

| Version         | Folder to delete                                                                                         |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Beta / standard | `PremiereGPTBeta`                                                                                        |
| aescripts       | `PremiereGPTaescripts`                                                                                   |
| aescripts GenAI | `PremiereGPTaescripts_genai`                                                                             |
| Older versions  | `PremiereCopilot`                                                                                        |
| DaVinci Resolve | `/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Workflow Integration Plugins/DavinciGPT` |

macOS will ask for your **administrator password** — this folder is outside your user account.

If you prefer the Terminal, this removes every possible variant in one go:

```bash theme={null}
sudo rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/PremiereGPTBeta" "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/PremiereGPTaescripts" "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/PremiereGPTaescripts_genai" "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/PremiereCopilot"
```

### 2. Delete the data folder

Press `Cmd + Shift + G` in Finder and paste:

```bash theme={null}
~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/Premiere Copilot
```

Move the whole **Premiere Copilot** folder to the Trash. It contains the subfolders created at install time:

`audio_sync` · `image_generation` · `matplotlib_cache` · `music_analysis` · `rush_db` · `script` · `seq_preset` · `sfx` · `temp` · `thumbnails` · `transcription_analysis`

Or, in the Terminal:

```bash theme={null}
rm -rf ~/Documents/Adobe/"Premiere Pro"/"Premiere Copilot"
```

<Warning>
  Back up anything of your own stored in these folders (custom presets in `seq_preset`, generated files in `image_generation` or `sfx`) before deleting.
</Warning>

### 3. (Optional) Forget the installer receipt

macOS keeps a record of the `.pkg` installation. It takes no meaningful space, but you can clear it:

```bash theme={null}
sudo pkgutil --forget com.trial17.premierecopilot
```

For the GenAI and DaVinci builds, the identifiers are `com.trial17.premierecopilot-genai` and `com.trial17.davinciclaude`.

## Verify the uninstall

<Steps>
  <Step title="Restart Premiere Pro">
    Reopen Adobe Premiere Pro.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the Extensions menu">
    Go to **Window > Extensions**. **Première GPT Beta** should no longer be listed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the folders">
    Both the CEP extension folder and `Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/Premiere Copilot` should be gone.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Uninstalling does **not** cancel your subscription. Manage or cancel it from your [account dashboard](https://www.premierecopilot.com/account).
</Info>

***

<Tip>
  Reinstalling later? Just run the installer again — it recreates both folders automatically. Note that the installer already deletes any previous version before installing, so you do **not** need to uninstall manually before an update.
