Clean Uninstall & Data Reset

Whether you are preparing for a major update or simply want to start fresh, this guide will walk you through completely removing MemoryBox from your system. While most updates happen automatically, certain “Critical Updates” require a manual clean-up to ensure your new version has a perfectly clear path to set up its database. Beyond updates, we believe you should always have total control over your information; if you ever wish to completely wipe your local memory and start with a blank slate, these steps will ensure no trace of the app or its data remains on your machine.

1. Remove Application Binaries

First, remove the core application and browser extension from your system.
1

Quit MemoryBox

Ensure the application is fully closed.
2

Move to Trash

Open your Applications folder in Finder. Right-click the MemoryBox app and select Move to Trash.
3

Remove Extension

In Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions. Find the MemoryBox card and click Remove.Note: You may need to restart Chrome to fully clear the extension from active AI chat windows.

2. Wipe Persistent Local Data

The uninstaller does not automatically delete your local memory database. To perform a truly “clean” install, you must manually delete the data directories.
Check for both names: Depending on your previous version, the data folder may be named either MemBox or MemoryBox. Please ensure both are removed.
  1. In Finder, select Go > Go to Folder…
  2. Paste the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/
  3. Locate and delete both the MemBox and MemoryBox folders.

3. Reinstall

Once your environment is cleared of legacy assets and data, you can proceed with a fresh installation.
