How to uninstall Douyu on Windows
Save wanted files and settings before removing 斗鱼 9.2.4.0 on Windows. The locations below were observed in this test; keep shared components separate from app data.
Use the app's uninstaller
Quit Douyu, then uninstall it from Settings › Apps › Installed apps. If the entry name is garbled, confirm its publisher and install location before selecting it.
Data and remaining locations
Enter each complete path in File Explorer. Copy wanted data and settings first; unused caches can be removed. Keep drivers, shared parent folders and shared registrations.

Check the result
Get-Process DouyuLive,DySDKController,DySDKUpdater -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Test-Path "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\DouyuPCClient"
Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\DouyuLive"
Test-Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\¶·ÓãÖ±²¥'
Get-CimInstance Win32_Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -match 'douyu|dysdk' -or $_.PathName -like '*DouyuPCClient*' }
winget list --id Douyu.DouyuLive --exact
Test-Path returns True if that exact path exists and False if it is absent; True is expected for data you kept. Resolve query errors before drawing a conclusion. If a process, service or app query lists this product, check its path and installation source. Empty output with suppressed errors alone does not prove removal.
If you installed it with winget
These commands invoke the vendor uninstaller. This test used Mole and did not repeat removal separately through winget.
winget uninstall --id Douyu.DouyuLive --exact
What Mole lists
The program, shortcuts and usage records are selected by default. Data and settings follow the entries marked in the table; leave whole data folders unchecked to retain their contents.
What this test covered
Tested on October 5, 2026, in a Windows 11 ARM64 VM with a Mole development build, covering first launch and uninstall. Sign-in or local-content recovery, other installation channels and the released download were not verified. Automatic detection after an external uninstall was not verified.
