  4. In the uninstaller, tick "Delete the application data" if you want your data removed too, then choose Uninstall.

From the app

Open Text Expander from the tray, go to Settings, then choose Stop sharing. It explains the steps and can start the uninstaller for you.

What uninstalling does

  • Bandwidth sharing stops immediately, together with the app.
  • The app is removed from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Text Expander, along with its Start menu entry and its "Start with Windows" entry.
  • With "Delete the application data" ticked, your Text Expander data, settings and the sharing component in %APPDATA%\fm.earn.textexpander are deleted too. Without it, they stay on your PC, so a reinstall picks up where you left off. You can delete that folder yourself at any time.

Uninstalling is free and never asks for anything. Afterwards your browser may open a short page that asks, optionally, why you uninstalled. If you'd like us to delete the consent record and other data linked to your device on EarnFM's side, see the privacy policy.
