How Can I Safely Uninstall "spotify" From My Computer?

A "Spotify" icon appears in my Task Bar. "Spotify" does not appear in the Control Panel's Programs and Features window so I can't uninstall it that way. How can I safely uninstall it?

 

I'm guessing you are using Win 11 - if so you can uninstall it by right clicking it in the Start menu.

 

Hi,

Thank you for your replies. Here's what I did to fix my problem: (BTW I'm running Windows 10, as shown in my little blurb at the end of my messages )

I checked the Control Panel again and verified that there is no Spotify icon in Programs and Features.

I noticed that MSEdge and MSEdge Runtime 2 )or something like that - can't recall) were listed. I don't use Edge, so I right-clicked MSEdge. I was given the opportunity to "Repair" it so I did. The repair was successful but the Spotify icon was still in the Task Bar.

Then I opened Programs and Features again and this time I right-clicked the 2nd Edge item (the "runtime" version) and was given the option of uninstalling it. The uninstall operation finished successfully, and the Spotify icon disappeared from the Task Bar. I restarted the computer and the Spotify icon was still absent so I assume that it is gone and that it was part of the silly-a$$ Edge stuff.

I just love it when Microsoft installs crap on the computer and does not leave the use any indication that the crap was installed.

 

What 'little blurb'? I can't see it.

 

Only been here 20 years - never knew that

 

This is being automatically ‘installed’ by a Windows update. I had clip chimp installed. I just right clicked on it & chose uninstall.
