I had two powershell tabs opened. Here is the other tab. command.log

choco uninstalled more than audacity and keepass. Empty spaces on the desktop should be what choco uninstalled in this event.

Fenixer commented 1 month ago

Also happened with me Uninstalled openvpn and lost sumatrapdf and wiztree as well (Could've been more but these are what I discovered)

pauby commented 1 month ago

When installing software, Chocolatey CLI takes a snapshot of the file system and registry so it knows what to remove when uninstalling.

If, while installing a package, there are other installation going on in the background, then Chocolatey CLI will naturally see those as changing during the install, and naturally assume that those changes are part of the software installation. Upon uninstall, using the Chocolatey Automatic Uninstaller, it will likely remove the other software that was captured during the Chocolatey CLI package installation.

The two options are:

Ensure you are not running any other installation while Chocolatey CLI is running.
Skip using the Chocolatey Automatic Uninstaller when uninstalling the software.

Based on experience I'm not going to try to reproduce this as I won't be able to. It's based on your environment at the time of the uninstallation.

mio-19 commented 1 month ago

Other packages are also installed by choco.

pauby commented 1 month ago

If you mean that you are running Chocolatey CLI in parallel (i.e. more than one instance of Chocolatey CLI is running at the same time) then this will cause the problem you are experiencing.

If that is not what you meant, can you expand on your comment, as I don't understand?

mio-19 commented 4 weeks ago

I might have run Choco CLI in parallel. I suggest Choco CLI to print a warning message when running in parallel

pauby commented 1 week ago

@mio-19 If you have run Chocolatey CLI multiple times, then this will be why you experienced this issue.

There are times when running Chocolatey CLI in parallel will have no effect.

I suggest Choco CLI to print a warning message when running in parallel

That would be a duplicate of #824.

I'll go ahead and close this just now.
