Uninstalling on Windows

If you've used the official installer to set up Espanso, you can uninstall it by simply right-clicking on the icon, choose "Uninstall" and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Uninstalling on macOS

If you've used Homebrew to install espanso, you can open a terminal and run the following commands to uninstall it:

espanso stop
espanso unregister
brew remove espanso

Otherwise, if you've used the manual installation method, run these commands:

espanso stop
espanso unregister
sudo rm $(which espanso)

It may save trouble if you ensure Espanso is removed from the accessibility permissions list before installing the new version.

Uninstalling on Linux

This step depends on the method you originally used to install Espanso.

First of all, open a terminal and run:

espanso stop
espanso unregister

Then, if you used a package manager to install Espanso, use the appropriate command. For example, if you installed using Snap, you should run:

sudo snap remove espanso
