What happens when you delete Filmora

Specific to Filmora

Your paid plan and effects store access remain secure because they are linked to your Wondershare ID. Local project files stay wherever you chose to save them. However, the app leaves behind a data folder containing settings, cache, and autosaves ranging from 1 GB – 30 GB. This folder remains on your disk until you remove it manually.

Where your Filmora data lives

These folders hold your own Filmora data. Deleting the app leaves them in place; removing them is what actually deletes it.

~/Library/Application Support/Wondershare/Filmora App data · Filmora cache, settings and project autosaves Back up first: your data

Account and sync: Filmora requires a Wondershare ID sign-in for the paid plan and its effects store.
License: Paid plans are linked to a Wondershare ID.
Your files: Project files are saved wherever you choose; autosave copies may sit in Filmora's own data folder.

Risks of removing Filmora data

The directory at ~/Library/Application Support/Wondershare/Filmora mixes temporary resources with critical autosave data. Deleting this folder without checking means losing any unfinished work not manually saved. Since the Library is hidden, you must use Finder to locate these files. Ensure all necessary project copies are secured before clearing this space.

Frequently asked questions

Will deleting Filmora delete my files?

No. Removing the app doesn't touch documents you saved in other folders. Only the app and, if you remove them, its own support files are deleted.

Will I lose my paid subscription if I uninstall?

No, your license is tied to your Wondershare ID rather than the local installation.

Where are my unfinished project backups stored?

Autosave copies are located within the app's Application Support folder.
