How to uninstall AirDroid on Windows

Files you transferred with AirDroid stay wherever they were saved, and removing the Windows app does not remove this PC from your AirDroid account; sign out in the app first if you want it gone from your device list. The app keeps its settings and caches in two data folders, one per user and one for all users. This guide covers AirDroid installed machine-wide from the AirDroid.AirDroid winget package.

Quit AirDroid first

Sign out if you want this PC removed from your account, then exit AirDroid from its tray icon. It added no startup entry in this test; check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for any AirDroid.exe still listed.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find AirDroid, and choose Uninstall, or run:

winget uninstall --id AirDroid.AirDroid

This is a machine-wide install, so Windows asks for administrator access. The uninstaller removes the program folder, %ProgramData%\AirDroid and the Start Menu and public desktop shortcuts.

Where the data lives

Location What it holds What to do
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\AirDroid Program files Removed by the uninstaller
%ProgramData%\AirDroid Data shared by all users Removed by the uninstaller in this test
%APPDATA%\AirDroid Per-user settings, with a Cache and a logs folder Keep it if you will reinstall; otherwise remove it
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\AirDroid An empty temporary folder Safe to remove; Mole's Clean handles temporary files

Check the result

Get-Process AirDroid -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id AirDroid.AirDroid
Test-Path "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\AirDroid"
Test-Path "$env:ProgramData\AirDroid"
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\AirDroid"
  • No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown.
  • A completed winget list query with no match means the package record is gone.
  • Test-Path on the program folder or %ProgramData%\AirDroid returning False means that folder is gone.
  • Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\AirDroid" returning True means your per-user settings are still there, which is expected unless you removed them yourself.

If you installed it with winget

winget uninstall runs the same uninstaller Settings › Apps uses; it does not touch %APPDATA%\AirDroid.

Account and subscription

Uninstalling does not cancel an AirDroid Premium subscription or delete your account.

What Mole lists

For AirDroid installed machine-wide from winget:

  • The program folder, the Start Menu and public desktop shortcuts, and a row grouping Windows' own records of when you opened the program are selected by default.
  • %ProgramData%\AirDroid and %APPDATA%\AirDroid are listed but not selected, since they hold settings.
  • The Cache and logs folders inside %APPDATA%\AirDroid are listed on their own and selected by default.

What this test covered

Tested on September 27, 2026 with AirDroid 3.8.0.4 installed through winget, machine scope, removed with its NSIS uninstaller running silently. Every listed row was ticked and removed in this test. Not verified: a signed-in account, a paired phone, or transferred files.
