hi @suygetsu1256 thanks for reaching out! just so you know, you do not need your own API key for Pieces to work, you can just use one of the models we offer. we offer several from OpenAI, Google, Meta, and more.

that tokenizer.dll is an expected part of Pieces so if you want Pieces to continue to run properly you will have to white-list it with kaspersky.

if you want to delete Pieces completely you should be able to just quit Pieces and PiecesOS, then right-click on the Pieces apps within your "Apps" on Windows, and remove your local databases by deleting the "com.pieces.os" and "com.pieces.pfd" folders within your Documents folder.
