How uninstalling works

locwinn's one unusual promise is that it's hard to remove in a weak moment. That's a feature, so here's exactly how it behaves — before you buy, not after. The short version: you are never trapped, but removal is deliberate and, if you chose it, slow.

You pick the mode at install

Lite — remove any time

Run the uninstaller, confirm once, and it's gone. No password and no wait. Choose Lite if you mostly want the block out of sight, without a lockout.

Nuclear — you choose a waiting period

At install you pick a delay, anywhere from minutes up to a year. When you later decide to uninstall:

1. You request removal (from the uninstaller). The clock starts.
2. Your chosen delay passes. Requesting again doesn't restart it.
3. When the delay is up, the removal password is emailed to you.
4. The password works for 72 hours. Run the uninstaller, enter it, and locwinn removes itself cleanly.

The Nuclear password is never stored on your machine — it's held server-side (encrypted) until your delay is up, which is what makes the wait real. Changing your mind the other way is easy: making the delay stricter applies immediately; loosening it only takes effect after your current delay would have passed. Reinstalling as Lite doesn't skip an unserved Nuclear delay either. Once your plan has ended, the uninstaller removes locwinn without a password, whatever mode you chose.

What removal actually does

The uninstaller undoes everything the installer set up: your browser and network settings are returned to how they were, the background helper is removed, and the program folder is deleted. It aims for zero residue.
