The fastest way to remove the Driver app
Uninstalling the Driver app depends on whether you're using Windows or Mac, but both take less than five minutes. On Windows, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, find "Driver" in the list, click it, and select Uninstall. On Mac, open Applications, find Driver, drag it to the Trash, then empty the Trash. The app will stop running when ready and won't restart on its own.
Before you uninstall, consider whether you want to back up any trip history or earnings records the app stored locally. Once removed, you won't be able to access that data through the app anymore, though your account information stays with the company's servers if you ever reinstall.
Key Takeaways
- Windows users remove the Driver app through Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, then click Uninstall on the Driver entry.
- Mac users drag the Driver app from Applications to the Trash, then empty the Trash to complete removal.
- Uninstalling stops the app from running and removes it from your device, but does not delete your account with the company.
- You can reinstall the app later without losing your account history, as long as you log back in with the same credentials.
Windows uninstall steps in order
Open Settings by pressing the Windows key and typing "Settings," then pressing Enter. Once Settings opens, click Apps on the left sidebar, then click Apps & Features. Scroll through the list until you find "Driver" — it will show the app name, version number, and size on disk.
Click on the Driver entry once to select it. A menu will appear with options including Uninstall. Click Uninstall, and Windows will ask you to confirm. Click Uninstall again in the confirmation window. The removal usually takes 10 to 30 seconds. When it finishes, the Driver entry will no longer appear in your Apps & Features list.
If you see a message saying the app is still running, close the Driver app completely first. Look for it in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen or in the system tray (the icons on the far right of the taskbar), right-click it, and select Close or Exit.
Mac uninstall steps in order
Open Finder and click Applications in the sidebar on the left. Scroll through the list of applications until you find Driver. Click it once to select it, then drag it to the Trash icon in your dock (usually at the bottom of the screen). You can also right-click the Driver app and select Move to Trash.
Dragging to Trash removes the app from your Applications folder, but the files still exist in the Trash until you empty it. To fully remove the app from your Mac, click the Finder menu at the top, select Empty Trash, and confirm. The Driver app is now completely removed.
If the app won't move to Trash because it's still running, click the Finder menu, select Force Quit, find Driver in the list, click it, and click Force Quit. Then try moving it to Trash again.
What happens to your data after uninstall
Uninstalling the app removes it from your device but does not delete your account. The company's servers still hold your trip history, earnings records, payment information, and account settings. If you reinstall the Driver app later and log in with the same email and password, all that information will be there.
Any data stored only on your device — like cached trip maps or offline records — will be deleted when you uninstall. If you want to keep a record of your earnings or trips, take screenshots or export any reports the app offers before you uninstall.
Reinstalling the Driver app later
If you decide to use the Driver app again, you can read it from the same place you got it originally. On Windows, search the Microsoft Store for "Driver" and click Install. On Mac, search the App Store for "Driver" and click Get, then Install.
When you open the reinstalled app, log in with your original email and password. Your account, history, and settings will load automatically. You won't lose anything by uninstalling and reinstalling, as long as you use the same login credentials.
Removing the app from your startup programs (Windows only)
On Windows, you may want to prevent the Driver app from launching automatically when you start your computer, even if you plan to keep it installed. Open Settings, click Apps, then click Startup. Look for Driver in the list and toggle it off. This stops the app from running in the background without uninstalling it.
If you've already uninstalled the Driver app, it will no longer appear in your Startup list. This step is only necessary if you want to keep the app but prevent it from opening automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will uninstalling the Driver app delete my account?
No. Uninstalling only removes the app from your device. Your account, earnings history, and payment information remain on the company's servers. You can reinstall the app anytime and log back in to see everything.
Can I uninstall the Driver app if it's currently running?
You can try, but it's easier to close the app first. If the uninstall process gets stuck, close the Driver app completely, then try uninstalling again. On Windows, check your taskbar and system tray. On Mac, use Force Quit from the Finder menu.
What if the uninstall button is grayed out or won't work?
This usually means the app is still running in the background. Close it completely, restart your computer, and try again. If it still doesn't work, restart in Safe Mode (Windows) or Safe Boot (Mac) and attempt the uninstall from there.
Do I lose my earnings if I uninstall the app?
No. Your earnings are stored on the company's servers, not on your device. Uninstalling the app doesn't affect your account balance, payment history, or any money owed to you.
How much space will I free up by uninstalling?
The Driver app typically uses 100 to 500 megabytes of storage, depending on your device and how much data it cached. You'll see the exact size listed in Apps & Features (Windows) or Applications (Mac) before you uninstall.
