Installed with pip¶
You can remove KA Lite (when installed from pip or source distribution) with
pip uninstall ka-lite
or pip uninstall ka-lite-static
(static version).
Removing user data¶
Some data (like videos and language packs) are downloaded into a location that depends on the user running the KA Lite server. Removing that directory can potentially reclaim lots of hard drive space.
On Windows, the HOME and USERPROFILE registry values will be used if set,
otherwise the combination %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
will be used.
You can check these values from the command prompt using the commands
echo %HOME%
, echo $USERPROFILE%
, etc.
Within that directory, the data is stored in the .kalite
subdirectory.
On most versions of Windows, this is C:\Users\YourUsername\.kalite\
.
On Linux, OSX, and other Unix-like systems, downloaded videos and database files are in ~/.kalite
.
