What happens when you remove Krita
Specific to Krita
The app takes up between 500 MB – 10 GB of space including its data. Deleting the software leaves your documents intact since they are saved wherever you chose. It also preserves the folder at ~/Library/Application Support/krita, which stores your workspaces, session data, and brushes.
Where your Krita data lives
These folders hold your own Krita data. Deleting the app leaves them in place; removing them is what actually deletes it.
- Your files
- Documents are saved wherever you choose.
Risks of fully clearing Krita data
If you manually remove the support folder after deleting the app, you lose all custom resources. This includes your personalized brush sets and workspace configurations. Because these live only on your Mac rather than a cloud account, they cannot be recovered once the Trash is emptied.
