Where does DBeaver keep its data on a Mac?

In ~/Library/DBeaverData: the workspace, with connections, scripts and downloaded database drivers. Ours was 300 KB, a lightly used copy; with many drivers downloaded it grows to hundreds of megabytes.

The databases themselves are separate: uninstall MySQL and uninstall PostgreSQL.
