Reinstall Wappler from scratch

Sometimes you need to do a completely clean install of Wappler.

You won’t be losing anything as Wappler is fully self containing and also your project preferences are stored in the project folders.

You will only loose your projects list but you can recreate it easily later on with the “Open Existing Folder” option in the Wappler Project Manager.

Here is how to do a full clean reinstall:

On Windows

  • Close Wappler and its launcher by right clicking on the tray icon and choosing Quit
  • on Windows run the Uninstall Wappler
  • Locate and delete the Wappler user folder

for Wappler 3:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Wappler

for Wappler 4, 5 and 6:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Wappler

Note: if you want to keep you previous projects configuration just leave the ‘Configuration’ sub folder it in and delete the rest only.

it might be a hidden files so make sure you enabled to show hidden files in Windows Explorer preferences.

On Mac

  • Close Wappler and its launcher by right clicking on the tray icon and choosing Quit
  • Delete Wappler from Applications
  • Locate and delete the Wappler user folder
    /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Wappler
    or shorter: ~/Library/Application Support/Wappler
    (You can choose in Finder / Go To Folder ~/Library/Application Support first)

Note: if you want to keep you previous projects configuration just leave the ‘Configuration’ sub folder it in and delete the rest only.
