Good software is easy to remove, and it tells you the truth about what it leaves behind. Power Claude installs as a VS Code extension with an optional CLI and a small set of Claude Code hooks, so "uninstalling" can mean anything from switching off a single hook to wiping every byte it ever wrote and closing your account. This guide walks through each path in plain terms and points you to the step-by-step uninstall guide for the exact commands.
The short version
If you just want it gone: open the VS Code Command Palette, run Power Claude: Uninstall Everything, then uninstall the extension from the Extensions panel. That stops the rotation proxy, reverts the Claude Code editor tweaks back to stock, removes Power Claude's entries from your Claude Code settings, and deletes its data directory. Everything else below is for people who want a narrower change — or who want to know exactly what is kept on our servers and for how long.
The authoritative, always-current steps live on the uninstall page. This post is the why and the shape of it.
Removing one piece without uninstalling
Power Claude is not all-or-nothing. It installs a few Claude Code lifecycle hooks — the session watchdog, the timeline hook, and the session-lifecycle hooks — and each can be removed on its own from the Command Palette. If the watchdog is the only thing you want to switch off, you do not have to give up rotation or the dashboard to do it. Each command removes only its own entries from your Claude Code settings and leaves the rest untouched.
This matters because it keeps the trust boundary clean: you can dial Power Claude's footprint down to exactly the parts you use, and back up again, without reinstalling anything.
What "Uninstall Everything" actually does
The Uninstall Everything command is the complete local removal. In one step it:
- stops the local rotation proxy if it is running;
- reverts the small Claude Code editor patches back to their stock state (reload the window afterward to see stock behavior);
- removes every Power Claude entry from your Claude Code
settings.json; - deletes the Power Claude data directory — rotation state, account profiles, logs, and cache.
Two things it deliberately does not touch: Claude Code's own credentials and its settings.json file itself. Removing Power Claude should never log you out of Claude Code or scramble your editor configuration, so it leaves those alone.
One detail worth calling out because it is genuinely user-friendly: before it deletes anything, the command writes a snapshot archive of your prior state, profiles, logs, and config to your Downloads folder. If you uninstall and later change your mind, that snapshot lets a reinstall pick your history back up. If you truly want it gone, delete the snapshot too.
The extension and the CLI are separate
Deleting the data directory stops Power Claude from running, but the extension and the CLI package are still installed until you remove them as well. The extension comes out through the VS Code (or Cursor) Extensions panel like any other. The CLI is an npm global package and uninstalls the way every global npm package does. The uninstall guide has the exact one-liners.
Removing a single linked account
If you are not uninstalling at all — you just want to disconnect one Claude account from the rotation pool — you can do that from the Power Claude panel directly. Each account row has a remove control that deletes that account's stored profile from disk. (You cannot remove the account that is currently active; switch to another one first.) This is the right tool when you are rotating credentials, not when you are leaving.
Your account and the data we keep
Everything above is local — it happens on your machine and never asks us for permission. Closing your Neural-LLM account is a separate action, because uninstalling the software does not delete server-side records like license-validation history and billing.
We publish exactly what we retain and for how long in our Privacy Policy, including how to exercise your deletion and erasure rights. The short shape: when you close your account, personal data is deleted or anonymized within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep certain records (billing and tax records, for instance) for longer. We would rather state that plainly than imply a "delete everything instantly" that we cannot legally honor.
Why we built uninstall to be honest
A rotation proxy that sits between Claude Code and Anthropic is exactly the kind of tool you should be able to remove without residue, and audit while it is installed. That is why the local data lives in one directory you can inspect, why the editor patches revert to stock, why removal leaves Claude Code's own files alone, and why we link the retention schedule instead of hand-waving it. Software you can cleanly remove is software you can trust to install.
When you are ready, the uninstall guide has every path, in order, with the exact commands.
