How to uninstall Todoist on Windows

This record covers Todoist 9.31.0, installed through Doist.Todoist with user scope. Quit the app, then remove it from Windows Installed apps.

Close the app

Close the app window and tray entry, then check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for Todoist.exe.

Data and settings

Back up these folders when keeping local data or settings. A surviving data folder does not mean the uninstall failed.

Uninstall with WinGet

winget uninstall --id Doist.Todoist --exact

The --id and --exact options are documented in Microsoft Learn.

Check the result

Get-Process -Name 'Todoist' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id Doist.Todoist --exact
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\Todoist"

No process output means only that the process is not running. A completed winget query with no match means the package is no longer listed; a query error does not prove removal. Test-Path returns True when the data folder remains and False when that path is absent. True is expected when keeping data.

What Mole lists

Mole reviewed the program folder, shortcuts and app-owned link registrations with default selection. %APPDATA%\Todoist was unselected by default, while its measured disk caches and logs were separate default-selected rows. Its own updater folder was also reviewed after removal. Inspect these rows individually when keeping settings.

What this test covered

Recorded on 2026-10-03 for version 9.31.0, using vendor NSIS uninstaller.

This record comes from a source build tested in a Windows 11 ARM64 VM. Signed-in accounts, synced content and other installation channels were not tested. Delayed leftover detection after an external uninstall is a separate check.
