Common problems
Uninstalling OpenClaw is not always just "delete the app"
Depending on how you installed it, OpenClaw may leave behind hidden state, config files, tokens, and background services.
Not sure if a background service is still running?
Users often notice a launch agent, scheduled task, background service, or startup item still trying to come back.
Worried about API keys, tokens, or linked accounts?
Removing OpenClaw locally does not automatically revoke saved tokens, sessions, or linked accounts in third-party dashboards.
Need someone to clean it up for you?
If the cleanup already feels messy, remote help can be faster than guessing what still matters.
