I’ve installed IPFS Desktop before but eventually messed up the setting.

So i’ve switched to IPFS CLI, and it’s up & running after a few tough days of tweaking.

I want to go back to IPFS Desktop again because i like the interface, and the possibility that it’ll help me to migrate my data blocks from my current SSD c:\ card to HDD d:\

IPFS Desktop is being uninstalled and everything cleaned up on my node.

IPFS CLI is up & running shipshape at the moment on my c:\ (which is a SSD drive).

Are there any concern about installing IPFS Desktop again?
