Hey @Naxeo, welcome to the Community.

Sorry to hearthat you're having trouble with Spotify 🙂

Please check this thread for a more advanced uninstallation of Spotify.

Let me know how that goes 🙂

Let me restart my computer (thanks for the reply)

Hey @Naxeo,

Yes I saw that you're getting an error message but cleaning all the files left before might help you solve this issue.

You can also try it from Safe Mode to see if that helps.

I'd also recommend creating another user account and trying to install Spotify there.

Hope it helps 🙂
