Completely removing Wispr Flow from your device

Last updated: April 23, 2026

Available on: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android

If a standard uninstall didn't fix your issue, or you want a completely clean slate, this guide walks you through removing Wispr Flow and all its data — including hidden folders and system permissions. Most platforms take under 5 minutes.

How to completely remove Wispr Flow

Mac

Option A: Use the uninstall script (recommended)

Note: This script is designed for the standard install location (/Applications/Wispr Flow.app). If Wispr Flow was installed to a custom or user-specific directory, use Option B (manual removal) instead.

  1. Quit Wispr Flow completely.

  2. Open Terminal (search for "Terminal" in Spotlight, or find it in Applications → Utilities).

  3. Copy and paste the entire script below into Terminal, then press Enter:

#!/bin/bash set -e echo "============================================" echo " Wispr Flow Uninstaller for macOS" echo "============================================" echo "" echo "This will remove:" echo " - /Applications/Wispr Flow.app" echo " - Application Support data (config, database, session)" echo " - Logs, caches, and preferences" echo " - Saved application state" echo " - Microphone and screen recording permissions" echo "" read -p "Are you sure you want to uninstall Wispr Flow? (y/n) " -n 1 -r echo "" if [[ ! $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then echo "Uninstall cancelled." exit 0 fi echo "" echo "Quitting Wispr Flow..." osascript -e 'quit app "Wispr Flow"' 2>/dev/null || true sleep 1 pkill -f "Wispr Flow" 2>/dev/null || true pkill -f "Wispr Flow Helper" 2>/dev/null || true sleep 1 echo "Removing app bundle..." rm -rf "/Applications/Wispr Flow.app" echo "Removing Application Support data..." rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Wispr Flow" rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Caches/Wispr Flow" echo "Removing logs..." rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Logs/Wispr Flow" echo "Removing caches..." rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Caches/com.wispr.flowapp" rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Caches/com.electron.wispr-flow" echo "Removing preferences..." rm -f "$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.wispr.flowapp.plist" rm -f "$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.electron.wispr-flow.plist" rm -f "$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.electron.wispr-flow.accessibility-mac-app.plist" echo "Removing saved application state..." rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Saved Application State/com.wispr.flowapp.savedState" echo "Removing HTTP storages..." rm -rf "$HOME/Library/HTTPStorages/com.wispr.flowapp" echo "Resetting permissions..." tccutil reset Microphone com.electron.wispr-flow 2>/dev/null || true tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.electron.wispr-flow 2>/dev/null || true tccutil reset SystemPolicyAllFiles com.electron.wispr-flow 2>/dev/null || true echo "" echo "============================================" echo " Wispr Flow has been uninstalled." echo "============================================" echo "" echo "NOTE: Accessibility permission must be removed manually." echo " Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility" echo " and remove Wispr Flow from the list." echo "" echo "You can close this window."

  1. Review the list of items that will be removed, then type y and press Enter to confirm.

  2. Wait for the script to finish. You'll see a confirmation message when it's done.

The script removes the app, all application data (config, database, session), logs, caches, preferences, and saved state.

Note: Accessibility permissions must still be removed manually. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and remove Wispr Flow if listed. Screen Recording and Microphone permissions are automatically reset by the script.

Option B: Remove manually

  1. Quit Wispr Flow completely.

    1. Click the Wispr Flow icon in the menu bar.

    2. Select Quit Wispr Flow.

  2. Confirm Flow is not running.

    1. Open Activity Monitor.

    2. Search for Wispr Flow.

    3. If you see any Wispr Flow processes, select them and click Stop → Force Quit.

  3. Remove the app.

    1. Open Finder.

    2. Go to Applications.

    3. Drag Wispr Flow to the Trash, then empty the Trash.

  4. Delete residual files.

    1. In Finder, press Shift + Command + G to open "Go to Folder."

    2. Check each of these folders for any Wispr Flow files or folders, and move them to the Trash:

      • ~/Library/Application Support/Wispr Flow (main data: database, preferences, session)

      • ~/Library/Logs/Wispr Flow (log files)

      • ~/Library/Caches/com.wispr.flowapp

      • ~/Library/Caches/com.electron.wispr-flow

      • ~/Library/Preferences/com.wispr.flowapp.plist

      • ~/Library/Preferences/com.electron.wispr-flow.plist

      • ~/Library/Preferences/com.electron.wispr-flow.accessibility-mac-app.plist

      • ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.wispr.flowapp.savedState

      • ~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.wispr.flowapp

      • ~/Library/Application Support/Flow (legacy location from older versions — may not exist)

    3. Empty the Trash again.

  5. Remove Wispr Flow from login items.

    1. Open System Settings → General → Login Items and remove Wispr Flow if listed.

  6. Revoke system permissions.

    1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and remove Wispr Flow if listed.

    2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone and remove Wispr Flow if listed.

    3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording and remove Wispr Flow if listed.

After completing these steps, Wispr Flow is fully removed. Reinstalling will start fresh with no previous settings or data.

Note: Permission entries persist even after the app is deleted. This is expected macOS behavior.

Windows

Option A: Use the uninstall script (recommended)

Note: This script is designed for the standard install location (%LOCALAPPDATA%\WisprFlow). If Wispr Flow was installed to a custom or user-specific directory, use Option B (manual removal) instead.

  1. Open Notepad (search for "Notepad" in the Start menu).

  2. Copy and paste the entire script below into Notepad:

@echo off echo ============================================ echo Wispr Flow Uninstaller for Windows echo ============================================ echo. echo This will remove: echo - Wispr Flow application files echo - Application data (config, database, session) echo - Caches and registry entries echo. set /p CONFIRM="Are you sure you want to uninstall Wispr Flow? (y/n) " if /i not "%CONFIRM%"=="y" ( echo Uninstall cancelled. pause exit /b 0 ) echo. echo Stopping Wispr Flow... taskkill /IM "Wispr Flow.exe" /F >nul 2>&1 echo Removing application files... powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path \"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\WisprFlow\" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path \"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\wispr-flow-updater\" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" echo Removing application data... powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path \"$env:APPDATA\Wispr Flow\" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" echo Removing caches... powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path \"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Wispr Flow\" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" echo Removing registry entries... powershell -Command "Remove-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run' -Name 'Wispr Flow' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\WisprFlow' -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" powershell -Command "Remove-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Wispr Flow' -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue" echo. echo ============================================ echo Wispr Flow has been uninstalled. echo ============================================ echo. pause

  1. Save the file as Uninstall Wispr Flow.bat. In Notepad, go to File → Save As, change "Save as type" to All Files (*.*), name the file Uninstall Wispr Flow.bat, and save it to your Desktop.

  2. Double-click the saved .bat file to run it.

  3. Review the list of items that will be removed, then type y and press Enter to confirm.

  4. Wait for the script to finish. You'll see a confirmation message when it's done.

The script removes the app, all application data (config, database, session), caches, and registry entries.

Note: The script automatically stops Wispr Flow if it's running, so manually quitting first is optional but recommended.

Option B: Remove manually

  1. Confirm Wispr Flow is not running.

    1. Right-click the taskbar and open Task Manager.

    2. Select the Processes tab.

    3. Look for Wispr Flow.

    4. Click it and select Uninstall, then follow the prompts.

  3. Remove leftover folders.

    1. Open File Explorer.

    2. In the address bar, go to each of these paths (replace [YourUser] with your Windows username):

      • C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\Wispr Flow (main data: database, preferences, session, logs)

      • C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\Flow (legacy location from older versions — may not exist)

    3. Delete any Wispr Flow folders you find.

    4. Empty the Recycle Bin.

  4. Remove Wispr Flow from startup.

    1. Press Win+R, type shell:startup, and delete any Wispr Flow shortcut if present.

After completing these steps, Wispr Flow is fully removed. Reinstalling will start fresh with no previous settings or data.

Tip: If you don't see the AppData folder, enable hidden items in File Explorer: View → Show → Hidden items.

Warning: Simply deleting the app does not remove your login session or shared data with the keyboard extension. Sign out first and remove the keyboard for a completely fresh state.

    1. Open the app → side menu → Account → Sign Out.

  2. Remove the Flow Keyboard extension.

    1. Go to iOS Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards.

    2. Delete Wispr Flow.

  3. Remove the Lock Screen widget (if added).

    1. Press and hold your Lock Screen until the customization mode appears.

    2. Tap Customize, then tap the Wispr Flow widget and remove it.

    2. Scroll to check that Wispr Flow no longer appears in the list of apps.

After completing all steps, reinstalling Wispr Flow from the App Store will start with a fresh app state.

Android

Warning: Android may automatically back up and restore app data. Clear storage before uninstalling to ensure a completely fresh state. Simply uninstalling and reinstalling may restore your previous login session and settings.

  1. Sign out from within the app first (optional). Open Wispr Flow → navigation drawer → Account → Sign out. This deletes all locally stored transcripts and signs you out cleanly.

  2. Force stop Wispr Flow.

    1. Go to Settings → Apps (or Apps & notifications on some devices).

    2. Find and tap Wispr Flow.

    3. Tap Force stop, then confirm.

  3. Clear app data.

    1. In the same Wispr Flow app info screen, tap Storage or Storage & cache.

    2. Tap Clear storage or Clear data, then confirm.

    Note: This also deletes your local transcription history (including any entries not yet uploaded to the server) and resets all app settings. Custom dictionary words are synced to the server in real time and will be restored when you sign in again.

  4. Uninstall the app.

    1. From the Wispr Flow app info screen, tap Uninstall, then confirm.

    2. Alternatively, long-press the Wispr Flow app icon on your home screen or app drawer, then tap Uninstall.

  5. Confirm removal.

    1. Go to Settings → Apps and check that Wispr Flow no longer appears in the list.

Reinstalling Wispr Flow from the Play Store will start with a fresh app state.

FAQs

Flow signs back into my old account right after reinstalling

Some residual app data remained. Follow the steps above for your platform, paying special attention to these platform-specific causes:

  • Mac / Windows: Double-check that you removed all Library/AppData folders listed in the steps above.

  • Android: Your data may have been restored via Android Auto Backup. Go to Settings → Apps → Wispr Flow → Storage → Clear storage to remove the restored data, then uninstall again.

  • iOS: Your login session is stored in a shared app container that may persist after deletion. Sign out from within the app before deleting it and remove the Flow Keyboard extension. In most cases, reinstalling the app clears previous sessions automatically on first launch. However, signing out before deleting is the safest approach to ensure a completely clean state.

I don't see AppData or Library folders on my computer

These folders are hidden by default.

  • Windows: Enable hidden items in File Explorer: View → Show → Hidden items.

  • Mac: Use Shift + Command + G in Finder and type the full path (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support/Wispr Flow).

I get an error when trying to uninstall Wispr Flow

The app may still be running in the background. Fully quit Wispr Flow using Activity Monitor (Mac) or Task Manager (Windows) before uninstalling.

I reinstalled but behaviors or issues are exactly the same

Some residual files were likely missed. Double-check that you removed all folders listed in the steps above for your platform.
