How to uninstall Mullvad Browser on Windows
Save any Mullvad Browser bookmarks and settings you need before uninstalling.
Quit the app
Close Mullvad Browser and any work it is running, then use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to check for its remaining processes.
Use its uninstaller
Open Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Mullvad Browser and choose Uninstall. Use the vendor uninstaller rather than deleting its program folder.
winget uninstall --id MullvadVPN.MullvadBrowser --exact
For this installation, winget invokes the registered removal method. It is not a separate cleanup of user data.
Check the result
winget list --id MullvadVPN.MullvadBrowser --exact
Test-Path -LiteralPath "${env:LOCALAPPDATA}\Mullvad\MullvadBrowser\Release" -ErrorAction Stop
Test-Path -LiteralPath "${env:LOCALAPPDATA}\Mullvad\MullvadBrowser" -ErrorAction Stop
Test-Path -LiteralPath "${env:APPDATA}\Mullvad\MullvadBrowser" -ErrorAction Stop
Read winget's result as well as its exit status: an explicit no-installed-package result concerns only this package, while a source, access or query error leaves the answer unknown. A successful Test-Path returning True means that exact location remains; False means it is absent. Neither result checks other paths. The commands do not delete anything.

The selected program, shortcuts and registrations were removed or already absent. Both Local and Roaming MullvadBrowser profile folders stayed unselected. Shared Mozilla files and the Mullvad parent key were kept; removing this browser is not removal of Mullvad VPN.
These defaults assume Remove data and settings with apps is off. Explicit Select all or Also remove user data can include the listed personal-data rows. Check the selection before confirming. Selected files that Mole removes go to the Recycle Bin; selected registry entries are backed up before removal. The vendor uninstaller has its own deletion behavior.
What this test covered
Recorded on 2026-10-20: Mullvad Browser, version 15.0.25, per-user, NSIS, winget package MullvadVPN.MullvadBrowser. The evidence comes from an ARM64 Windows test environment and a development build of Mole. It does not certify the current downloadable package or removal of real signed-in accounts, synchronized data or production projects.
