 ```bash
-memtrace uninstall              # removes skills, MCP server, and plugin from settings
+memtrace uninstall              # removes skills, MCP server, plugin, and settings

+Already ran `npm uninstall` first? The cleanup script is persisted at `~/.memtrace/uninstall.js`:

+```bash
+node ~/.memtrace/uninstall.js
