Brew uninstall insync doesn't remove the application data

#1

I had installed insync using the brew command.

brew install insync.

Then I added my account and performed a partial sync of my Google Drive.

Then I proceeded to uninstall insync and deleted the synced folder. When I reinstalled insync it picked up the credentials from the previous installation and because the synced folder wasn’t there, it initiated a delete of the whole folder in Google Drive too.

Where is the application data that I need to delete for the reinstallation of insync to be like a new one?

#2

Found that the application data for brew installed apps in the Library dir under the username and not the /Library dir.

I don’t see any reason for insync to reuse the configuration that was left behind by the previous installation.

Hi @Raghavendra_Talur,

My apologies for the trouble. Let me send this to our engineers so they are aware of what happened. :slight_smile:

We preserve the config settings as many of our users need to temporarily uninstall at times when a quick fix is needed for smaller bugs.
