Before uninstalling Sync:
1. Go to Sync settings -> Identity and unlink it from its current identity. You'll be prompted to create a new one, create it with any name. At this point Sync will unlink from other linked devices and Advanced folders.
2. Remove the remaining Standard shares from Sync.
These two steps are not compulsory, but they will clear this installation from the list of peers and/or linked devices on other peers. Otherwise, the uninstalled instance will simply show up as 'offline', which might be confusing.
3. Quit Sync.
Windows
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall program > click Resilio Sync > Uninstall.
Remember to check "Remove settings". After that, go to %AppData%\ Resilio Sync folder and make sure all the files are deleted from it.
If Sync is installed as Service, uninstall Resilio Sync Service in Control Panel and then manually remove folder %AppData%\ Resilio Sync Service.
Mac
Delete Resilio Sync from Applications, then go to /Users/username/Library/Application Support and move Resilio Sync folder to trash.
Sometimes Sync will not get removed from Mac immediately due to Sync Finder Extension running and give an error that plugin is in use.
If that's the case, go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor. In the Process Name column find 'Sync Finder Extension', click on it > in the dialog box hit 'Quit' or 'Force Quit'.
Please note that each folder added to Sync contains a hidden .sync subfolder with an Archive in it. The Archive stores copies of the files which were either deleted or modified in the course of synchronization. Over time, the Archive may grow in size and take up a lot of space on the hard disk. Since uninstallation of Sync will NOT remove the archived files, it's advisable to remove the hidden .sync folder manually, once uninstallation is complete.
Linux
Delete rslsync binary, then delete .sync folder which is placed near the binary. If you were launching it with a config, delete the 'storage_path'.
