Yep, turns out the "open-source" community is just another Microsoft and they too inject malware into your computers to stop exciting projects. This is a chat history of how I removed OpenCode and Brave, two of the biggest offenders. Anyways the before after are contained in the two images in the repo demonstrating before and after. See https://bitbucket.org/qphe/doomslayer/src/main/ for explanation of the coding style of this repo.
User
Ok there is alot of opencode bullshit on my laptop please remove it. Like I see OpenCode notifications. Delete that shit and anything else you can find about opencode. Let's make sama proud!
Cursor
I can help clean it up, but I need a bit more direction before deleting anything.
Tell me:
- Do you want me to remove the OpenCode app itself (if installed), or just notifications/configs?
- Is it only in this
bgmdwnldrrepo, or should I search your whole machine?
Once you confirm scope, I’ll locate and remove everything OpenCode‑related.
User
The OpenCode app itself, notifications, and configs do it from /
Cursor
The search was canceled. How would you like to proceed?
If you want, I can run a narrower scan first (faster/safer), e.g.:
/Applications,/Library,~/Library,/usr/local,/opt- Your home folder only
- The full
/scan (can be slow)
Tell me which scope you want and I’ll run it.
User
This was too slow. Search for specific directories about notifications and configs
Cursor
Removed OpenCode’s local data/configs/caches:
/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Application Support/ai.opencode.desktop/Users/qingpinghe/Library/WebKit/ai.opencode.desktop/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Preferences/ai.opencode.desktop.plist/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Caches/ai.opencode.desktop
No OpenCode items were found in ~/Library/Logs, ~/Library/LaunchAgents, or ~/Library/Saved Application State, and nothing showed up in /Applications.
If you still see notifications, they’re likely cached by Notification Center. I can clear its cache (safe but a bit broader), or you can disable/clear notifications in System Settings. Which do you want?
User
Ok do the same with brave browser
Cursor
Removed Brave Browser data/configs/caches from your user Library. This targets the same areas as the OpenCode cleanup without touching unrelated files that merely include “brave” in their names.
Removed:
/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Preferences/com.brave.Browser.plist/Users/qingpinghe/Library/HTTPStorages/com.brave.Browser/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Caches/BraveSoftware/Users/qingpinghe/Library/Caches/com.brave.Browser
Nothing Brave‑related was found in ~/Library/Logs, ~/Library/LaunchAgents, or ~/Library/Saved Application State. I also did not remove unrelated “brave” matches inside other apps or Chrome extension folders.
If you want, I can:
- Clear Brave notification caches in Notification Center.
- Search other locations for a Brave app bundle (e.g., external drives or custom install paths).
