How can I permanently disable the alert about the ComfyUI Manager problem

[leetraman822]

How can I permanently disable the alert about the ComfyUI Manager problem? Even if I update ComfyUI Manager, it doesn’t work, but after deleting Manager, the alert disappears. However, if I delete it, I won’t be able to conveniently manage updates for ComfyUI and plugins. This was the first plugin I installed after setting up ComfyUI, and I really need this plugin.

There isn't an official way to permanently disable the alert about the legacy ComfyUI Manager data backup without also disabling or removing the Manager plugin itself. The alert is triggered by the presence of legacy backup data or detection issues in the Manager extension, and updating or reinstalling doesn't always resolve it. The only supported way to remove the alert is to follow the message's instruction: verify and delete the legacy backup if you no longer need it. There are no configuration flags or settings in the frontend to suppress this alert while keeping the Manager active—removing the Manager disables the alert but also removes its functionality. No community workarounds or hidden suppression toggles have been found in the code or discussions so far. For now, deleting the backup as prompted is the only way to keep using the Manager without seeing the alert.

@leetraman822 Recently, ComfyUI-Manager replaced the previous setting folder (the one that contains config.ini) with a new one inside ComfyUI/user directory.

Now there is ComfyUI\user\__manager directory.

Inside it you can find a backup folder of your previous settings (the one that starts with .legacy). You can simply delete it and that warning goes away.
Or you can replace the config.ini in case you had set some custom entries (e.g. security_level = weak) and you want to keep the same settings as before.
