Safely uninstalls the Kokoro TTS engine and cleans up related scripts and configuration files while preserving large model assets.

The Kokoro TTS Remove skill provides a streamlined way to decommission the Kokoro text-to-speech engine from your local environment. It manages the teardown of the Python virtual environment, internal scripts, and metadata folders located in the local share directory. To optimize for future use, the skill intelligently preserves heavy Hugging Face model caches by default, preventing unnecessary re-downloads if you choose to reinstall later. It is an essential utility for maintaining a clean development environment while managing local AI speech synthesis tools.
