Hard-reset

For a more thorough reset, you can delete the actual files on disk.

Windows:

First, ensure that Synergy is uninstalled.

Run regedit and delete these registry keys (if they exist):

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symless
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synergy

Now, delete these directories (if they exist):

  • %ProgramData%\Symless
  • %ProgramData%\Synergy
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Synergy
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Symless

macOS:

First, ensure that Synergy is uninstalled.

On newer macOS versions, you'll need to use defaults delete to clear the settings cache:

defaults delete com.symless.Synergy.plist
defaults delete com.http-symless-com.Synergy.plist
defaults delete com.https-symless-com.Synergy.plist

For all macOS versions, delete any files on disk:

rm -r ~/Library/Preferences/Symless
rm -r ~/Library/Synergy
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.symless.Synergy.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.http-symless-com.Synergy.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.https-symless-com.Synergy.plist

On older macOS versions, you'll need to kill the cfprefsd process to clear the cache:

killall -u $USER cfprefsd

Linux:

First, ensure that Synergy is uninstalled.

Run these commands to delete these files and folders (if they exist):

rm -rf ~/.config/Synergy/
rm -rf ~/.config/Symless/
rm -rf ~/.synergy/
