Uninstalling cleanly — without breaking your internet
Uninstalling is easy; doing it in the wrong order leaves a classic scar: no internet at all afterwards, because the system proxy still points at the now-dead 127.0.0.1:7890. The right order:
- Turn off the system proxy on the General page;
- Turn off TUN mode (if you ever enabled it);
- Uninstall Service Mode (if installed): Settings → Service Mode → Manage → Uninstall;
- Quit the app: tray icon → Quit;
- Run the uninstaller from Settings → Apps, or the Uninstall entry in the install directory;
- Clean leftovers (optional): delete
%USERPROFILE%\.config\clashto remove subscriptions and settings completely.
Already uninstalled and now offline?
Open Windows Settings → Network & Internet → Proxy and switch off "Use a proxy server" — connectivity returns immediately. If TUN was used and a Clash virtual adapter lingers in the network adapter list, uninstall it in Device Manager.
