# Uninstall and Repair

> Remove Illegalcord desktop injection, repair a broken install, or clean up local settings.

Illegalcord desktop injection is managed by the repository scripts. Use those scripts before trying manual file edits.

## Remove desktop injection

From the repository root:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm uninject
```

Then fully quit and relaunch Discord. The **Illegalcord Settings** section should no longer appear.

## Repair desktop injection

If Discord updated, injection partially failed, or the settings section disappeared, run:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm repair
```

Then restart Discord.

## Reinstall from source

If you want a clean rebuild:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm build
pnpm inject
```

Restart Discord after the injector finishes.

## Remove generated output

Generated files live in `dist`. You can delete old build output and rebuild:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm build
pnpm buildWeb
```

Do not edit `dist` by hand. Fix source files, then rebuild.

## Back up or remove settings

Use **Illegalcord Settings > Backup & Restore** before deleting settings. Export:

* All settings.
* Plugin settings.
* QuickCSS.
* DataStore data.

The main settings tab has **Open Settings Folder** on supported desktop builds. Use that button to locate local settings data for your installation.

<Warning>
  Deleting local settings is irreversible unless you exported a backup first.
</Warning>

## Web extension cleanup

For web builds, remove the loaded extension from your browser's extension management page. Then rebuild with:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm buildWeb
```

Load the new output from `dist` if you want to reinstall the web target.
