Uninstallation

Put Spotify back

Terminal window
spicetify restore

That undoes the patch and returns the stock client. Restore with the same CLI that applied: v2 and v3 keep their backups differently, so the v2 binary cannot undo a v3 apply.

If you only wanted to stop a module misbehaving, you do not need any of this: disable it from the store’s Installed tab, or spicetify pkg delete <id>.

Stop the daemon

Terminal window
spicetify daemon stop
spicetify daemon uninstall

stop also unloads the service, so it does not come back on its own. uninstall removes it entirely.

Remove the files

spicetify path prints where everything is. Removing the config folder removes your configuration, every installed module and the store’s record of them.

Terminal window
rm -rf ~/.config/spicetify # Linux and macOS, if that is what `spicetify path` reported

On Windows, delete the folder spicetify path names.

Remove the binary

If you installed with the script, everything lives in one directory:

Terminal window
rm -rf ~/.spicetify

Then remove the PATH entry the installer added to your shell profile. If you installed through a package manager, uninstall through it instead.

On macOS, apply also created ~/Applications/Spicetify.app, the small bundle that receives spicetify:// links. Delete it too.

Going back to v2

Restore with v3 first, then install v2 and apply with it. Your v2 configuration (config-xpui.ini) was never touched, so it is exactly as you left it. See the v2 guide.
