How to remove the Shtil app completely
A normal uninstall removes the app but leaves its settings. To remove everything, follow this order.
Windows
- Turn the VPN off in the app and close it, or some files stay locked.
- Installed with Scoop: run
scoop uninstall shtil-vpn. Installed from a file: «Settings» → «Apps» → ShtilVPN → «Uninstall». - Delete the settings folders: paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\ShtilVPN into the Explorer address bar, then %APPDATA%\app.realityvpn.desktop.
Mac
With Homebrew one command removes everything: brew uninstall --zap --cask shtil-vpn, the app and its settings.
Installed from a file: drag the app to the Trash and delete the folder ~/Library/Application Support/ShtilVPN.
Android and TV
A normal uninstall: long press on the icon → «Uninstall». The settings go with the app, and the system removes the VPN permission itself.
What happens to the subscription
Removing the app does not cancel the subscription or delete the key: it stays in the bot. Install the app again, and everything works until the end of the paid period.
