How to uninstall and remove addon?

  • Hi, I have been using Libreelec for a long time, probably 10+ years. I do not know when this changed but I cannot uninstall an addon, as in, delete it from storage, remove it completely. There is no option to "Uninstall" for addons, only to "Disable" and "Enable" if disabled.

    Am I losing my mind? I am sure this was possible before but now I cannot do this for all addons. I tried searching on the web and forums and cannot find anything to describe this issue. I see that on Kodi on my Linux machine I can uninstall addons but not on the Libreelec 12.2 running on Intel NUC.

    How do I uninstall an addon then?

  • If you could tell which addon is the "problematic" for you, maybe somebody have the information why you can't uninstall it.

    All addons cannot be uninstalled. None of them have an option to uninstall. I am not talking about core addons but the ones I installed. I am just confused why there is no option.

  • Do you have the Kodi GUI in standard, advanced, or expert mode?

    I'm always in Expert mode due to testing. I see uninstall options /shrug

    Plan B, use SSH to access the device and the add-ons are in /storage/.kodi/addons - delete the add-on folder there and it is gone.

    Expert mode, always. I specifically did not want to use SSH because then I have to do things manually. I know I can delete folders but why is there no "Uninstall" in Libreelec/Kodi that I am running? It seems to be specific to the version I am running since I see that others running Kodi on Windows do have the option to uninstall.
