Claude Desktop Uninstallers

Scripts to fully remove Claude Desktop and all the files it leaves behind, because Anthropic's official uninstaller doesn't.

The Problem

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.

Custom data pack structures with jigsaws in 1.18.2

(Last updated: 1.18.2)

This is technically a shameless rip/edit of misode's guide that shows the traditional use of newly implemented custom structure system. I myself want to tackle the jigsaw aspect a bit, hence i'm making my own guice based on his. I will show how to create a data pack that adds custom structures to the world that also utilize jigsaw blocks. So treat this as a basic jigsaw guide in world generation. There is also a data pack download of this first example.

Always leave the world and rejoin to apply the new changes! Because traditional /reload or /datapack disable & enable do not refresh changes in worldgen files!

EXAMPLE 1 - Creating a structure that uses jigsaws

Let's make a simple house with a basement and a road that will lead away from the h
