How to uninstall mitmproxy on Windows

This record covers mitmproxy, registered version 12.2.3, installed through winget mitmproxy.mitmproxy with machine scope. Back up the folders below when retaining data.

Close the app

Close the window and tray entry, then check processes inside this app’s folder in Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). Match the executable path before quitting a process.

Data and settings

No separate data folder was listed in this run; retain projects and shared tool environments separately.

Remove with the vendor uninstaller

Find the app in Settings › Apps › Installed apps and uninstall it. Keep the vendor’s data-retention option when saving data; use the uninstaller rather than deleting the program folder.

For the measured winget installation, you can also run this command.

winget uninstall --id mitmproxy.mitmproxy --exact

Check the result

winget list --id mitmproxy.mitmproxy --exact

A completed installation query with no match means the measured registration is absent; a query error does not prove removal.

What Mole lists

No separate data or registration review rows were measured. The program folder and measured shortcuts are handled with the app. Registrations are backed up before removal; files go to the Recycle Bin. Items already removed by the vendor read Missing. The user’s.mitmproxy folder may contain local certificates and configuration. Back it up without reading or publishing private-key contents.
