To clean up the Code Sight configuration files (Eclipse)

Code Sight Documentation

Version
2026.5.0

Code Sight saves information in a folder with a number of configuration files. After you uninstall the plug-in, you might want to remove this. There is also a file that saves the current state of the plug-in.

  1. Open a command window or terminal.
  2. Remove the Black Duck desktop/ folder. The default location of this directory/folder depends on the operating system you are using. See the following table:
    Platform Location of Desktop directory/folder
    Linux or Mac /Users/<username>/.blackduck/desktop/
    Windows C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\BlackDuck\desktop\

    Some sites install the desktop/ folder in a custom location. If it is not in the default location, consult your system administrator.

  3. Remove the file code_sight_state.xml.

    This file is saved in the directory/folder named eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/com.codesight.eclipse/.
