Hi, Kite founder here. If you uninstall right after removing the whitelist directory then the removed files may have not have been synced to the server before the uninstall, particularly if you have a lot of files on your machine. We will address this by adding a "remove all whitelisted directories and log out" link to the local settings.

Something different was likely happening in bfirsh's case (sibling comment). If you delete the files from the kite.com/settings/files page but Kite is still installed then they will get synced up again. The most fail proof way is to uninstall and then wipe files from kite.com/settings/files. We will make the wipe files link log Kite out on that machine.

Sorry about the edge cases. We've been working on it, and will continue to do so!
