Scripts to fully remove Claude Desktop and all the files it leaves behind, because Anthropic's official uninstaller doesn't.
Anthropic shipped a Cowork feature in Claude Desktop that silently spins up a Linux VM on your machine. No warning. No disk space prompt. No way to opt out at install time.
The VM bundle grows to ~10GB and lives in your AppData/Application Support folder. When you uninstall Claude Desktop through the normal method, the VM bundle stays behind. Most users will never find it because it's buried in a hidden system folder.
