Uninstallation

Quick Uninstall

Terminal window
spicetify restore
rmdir -r -fo $env:APPDATA\spicetify
rmdir -r -fo $env:LOCALAPPDATA\spicetify
Terminal window
spicetify restore
rm -rf ~/.spicetify
rm -rf ~/.config/spicetify

Step by Step

1. Restore Spotify

First, remove Spicetify modifications from Spotify:

Terminal window
spicetify restore

This returns Spotify to its vanilla state.

2. Remove Spicetify Files

Remove the config and data directories:

Terminal window
rmdir -r -fo $env:APPDATA\spicetify
rmdir -r -fo $env:LOCALAPPDATA\spicetify

Remove the config and data directories:

Terminal window
rm -rf ~/.spicetify
rm -rf ~/.config/spicetify

3. Remove the Binary (Optional)

If you installed via a package manager, use it to uninstall:

| Method | Uninstall Command | |--------|-------------------| | Scoop | scoop uninstall spicetify-cli | | Winget | winget uninstall Spicetify.Spicetify | | Chocolatey | choco uninstall spicetify-cli | | Homebrew | brew uninstall spicetify-cli | | AUR | yay -R spicetify-cli |

If you used the install script, the binary is in your PATH. You can find and remove it:

Terminal window
where spicetify
# Remove the file shown
Terminal window
which spicetify
# Remove the file shown, e.g.:
rm $(which spicetify)

Keeping Configuration

If you might reinstall later and want to keep your settings:

Terminal window
spicetify restore

This removes Spicetify from Spotify but preserves your config file, themes, and extensions.
