How to uninstall Meitu Yunxiu on Windows
Export the edited photos you want to keep and save original images and project files before uninstalling Meitu Yunxiu. Check local photos and unfinished edits separately; they may not have a cloud backup.
Save your data and quit
Finish active exports, check the destination folders and open representative exported files at their expected resolution. Copy local-only projects and originals separately before closing the client. Confirm account access and paid-service cancellation separately; removing the Windows program does neither.
Uninstall the tested package
In Windows 11, open Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Meitu Yunxiu, and choose Uninstall. In Windows 10, use Settings › Apps › Apps & features. Keep the installed program folder intact until its uninstaller finishes. If this was the winget package, first confirm its exact identity:
winget list --id Meitu.ColorByte --exact
If the successful query shows the intended installation, remove that package:
winget uninstall --id Meitu.ColorByte --exact
This follows the package’s registered removal method; portable packages use their package-manager removal instead. An error or a missing winget match is not proof that the app is absent: check the Windows app list and the original installation method. Follow any vendor confirmation or restart request after saving other work. See Microsoft’s uninstall command documentation.
Data and components to check
The following locations or components need separate decisions. A remaining folder is not automatically disposable.
| Location or component | What to keep or check |
|---|---|
| Configured project and export locations | Keep original photos, editable work and final exports. Review the actual locations rather than assuming they are all in one cache. |
| Electron profile and updater downloads | The test distinguished reviewable profile data from regenerable update downloads. Profile data is not automatically disposable. |
See Meitu Yunxiu’s official website.
Check the outcome
winget list --id Meitu.ColorByte --exact
A successful package query with no matching row means that package registration was not found. A matching row means it still exists; an error leaves the result unknown. Keep deliberately retained data. Check Task Manager for a process whose executable belongs to this installation, and distinguish another version or a separate companion app before acting.
What Mole lists
The Electron profile was unselected by default, while downloaded updates were selected. The test also selected items classified as non-personal data. Back up projects and photos before removal; this test did not verify that a signed-in user’s files could be safely deleted.
What this test covered
The Windows client was launched, then uninstalled and checked in the app inventory. Signed-in project recovery, photos, cloud synchronization and version upgrading were not tested.
These results are from a development build of Mole. Other released builds were not individually tested.
