### Option: Remove all App data permanently

When uninstalling ThemeWare® the option "Remove all app data permanently" can be used. This deletes all ThemeWare® data such as the theme configuration, ThemeWare® duplicates and the ThemeWare® Custom Fields.

Therefore, if you want to remove ThemeWare® residue-free, use this option.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: If you are not sure whether you want to continue using ThemeWare® after all, or if you are using the uninstallation for debugging, save the data to have it available for a later installation.
{% endhint %}

If this option is **not** being used, all the data will remain in the system and can be used again as soon as you reinstall ThemeWare®.
