Delete and restore

Disabling, removing a tool target, and deleting a Skill have different effects. Choose the operation that preserves what you need.

Choose the operation

Operation	Tool-side content	Central library
Remove one tool target	Removes that distribution	Keeps the Skill
Disable a Skill	Removes tool-side sync	Keeps content and configuration for re-enabling
Delete a Skill	Cleans managed targets	Moves the Skill to the local recycle bin
Permanently delete	Does not clean other computers	Removes recycle-bin content; it cannot be restored from that bin

If you temporarily do not want an AI tool to use a Skill, disable it. Do not delete and reinstall it as a substitute for enabling and disabling.

The table describes successful operations. If the app reports that disabling succeeded but some tool directories could not be cleaned, files may remain and AI tools may still read them. Inspect the reported locations and resolve the remaining files. Disabled status alone does not confirm removal.

Delete Skills

Select entries in My Skills.
Choose delete.
Read the entries and affected scope in the confirmation.
Confirm deletion.
Check the records in Recycle Bin.

The app protects original sources, overlapping paths, and independently edited tool copies. If deletion is blocked, inspect the reported path and reason. Do not recursively delete the directory that a tool link points to.

If the app reports that the Skill was saved in the recycle bin but some original files could not be removed, inspect the bin record and reported paths. Archiving has already completed; do not repeat deletion as if nothing happened.

For bulk deletion, review both the filtered selection and the final confirmation list.

Restore deleted content

Deleted Skills remain in the local recycle bin for up to 30 days. Startup and daily cleanup remove expired entries. The recycle bin is not a long-term backup.

Open Recycle Bin.
Review the name, deletion time, and details.
Select restore.
Check the library and tool status after restoration.

Recycle bin entries, retention period, saved contents, and Restore button

English interface (captured in v1.0.0).

Restoration recovers library content, tags, and saved local records, then attempts to restore the tool targets listed in the interface. Targets excluded from restoration stay disabled. An occupied central-library location can block restoration; resolve that location conflict first.

Library restoration can succeed while tool distribution fails. If a tool directory already exists or distribution fails, the Skill may already be back in the library and removed from the recycle bin. Open My Skills, inspect failed targets, resolve conflicts, and distribute again. Do not repeat recycle-bin restoration or overwrite new content.

The local recycle bin is not copied to other computers as a complete backup of local configuration. Inspect device-sync changes separately from local recovery.

Permanently delete or empty the bin

Permanently delete an entry only when you no longer need to restore it. Emptying the bin removes all recycle-bin content and requires typed confirmation. Check for files you need before entering it.

Permanent deletion cannot be undone through that bin. If cleanup partly fails, inspect remaining entries and errors before acting again. A failure message does not establish that every item was deleted.

Skills removed by AI or CLI also enter the local recycle bin. Restoration and permanent deletion remain desktop operations.
