Yeah, the data and log files are stored elsewhere and not part of the Uninstaller unless that was added recently. Along with the common files for use by the client such as config files and the folding core executables they are all in /Library/Application Support/FAHClient on the system disk. Unlike v7 the active configuration settings are held in a client.db file. If a config.xml file is present such as after an update from v7 to v8, that is read at startup time by the F@h client. Any applicable settings are copied into the active settings.

The macOS uninstaller pkg will not delete any data.

It will delete some re-downloadable files from the data directory (FAHClient/):
GPUs.txt
gpus.json
cores/
fah-web-control/ (if present)

I'd love to figure out and resolve this issue, but I'm not willing to share my active time with F@H, so I guess I'll have to stop folding. 😔
