Uninstall Stellar — Windows and Mac

Remove Stellar AIO 4.0 from Windows or Mac and understand what happens to your locally saved setup.

This guide explains how to remove Stellar AIO 4.0 from a Windows computer or Mac. Choose the section for the computer where Stellar is installed.

Before you uninstall

• Stop your tasks and fully quit Stellar. Minimizing the window is not the same as quitting. The Mobile Companion App cannot control Stellar on this computer while the desktop app is closed or removed.
• Keep a backup of any setup you need. If you are moving computers or troubleshooting, ask support for help preserving your data before removing anything.
• Check that you are removing the intended version. If both older Stellar and Stellar AIO 4.0 entries appear, select the one you want to uninstall.

If you only want the latest version, follow Update Stellar — Windows and Mac first.

Uninstalling Stellar does not cancel your subscription. Billing and renewal management are handled separately through Whop. See Manage Your Stellar Account & License.

Windows uninstall

1. Open Start → Settings → Apps → Installed apps. On Windows versions with a different layout, look for Apps & features.
2. Search the list for Stellar and locate the Stellar AIO 4.0 entry. Its name may include a version number.
3. Open the entry’s three-dot menu and choose Uninstall, or select the entry and use its Uninstall button.
4. Confirm that you want to remove Stellar and follow the uninstaller’s prompts.
5. When it finishes, check that the selected entry no longer appears in the installed-app list. Restart if the uninstaller asks you to.

Alternative: Control Panel

Search for Control Panel from Start, then open Programs → Programs and Features. Select the Stellar entry, choose Uninstall or Uninstall/Change, and follow the prompts.

Deleting a desktop shortcut alone does not uninstall the app. For more Windows guidance, see Microsoft’s uninstall instructions.

Mac uninstall

1. With Stellar active, choose Quit from its menu or press Command-Q.
2. Open Finder → Applications and locate Stellar AIO 4.0. If it is not there, check the Applications folder inside your user home folder.
3. Select the app, then choose File → Move to Trash or press Command-Delete. Enter your Mac administrator credentials if prompted.
4. When you are sure you no longer need the app, remove it permanently from the Trash. Check the Trash contents before emptying it, since that also deletes other items there.

If macOS says the app is in use, quit Stellar and try again. If necessary, restart your Mac and remove it before reopening Stellar. For more details, see Apple’s app-removal instructions.

What happens to my saved data?

A normal uninstall does not delete your saved Stellar data. Your tasks, proxies, profiles, accounts and settings are saved locally in a data file on your computer. Removing the app and deleting that data file are separate actions.

Stellar does not store a cloud copy of your setup. Your license key gives you access to the app; it is not a backup of your tasks, profiles or other saved data.

• Reinstalling on the same computer: Preserve the existing data file if you want to keep your setup. Uninstalling alone is not a full data reset.
• Moving to another computer: Preserve and transfer your data using the appropriate migration guide. Installing Stellar and entering your key on the new computer does not automatically transfer that setup.
• Wanting to erase all saved data: Ask support for the correct 4.0 data-file location and steps for your operating system before deleting anything. Make a backup first if you may need the setup again.

Keep backups private because they may contain account credentials, profile information and proxy details.

Reinstalling or moving computers?

To install Stellar again, follow Download & Install Stellar — Windows and Mac.

If you are switching computers, follow the relevant migration guide and preserve your setup before removing it from the old computer:

• Moving between Windows and Mac
• Moving to a new PC or server

If activation on the new computer requires a key reset, follow the account-management guide. Resetting the license releases its current computer activation; it does not transfer your data.
