How to Uninstall F.lux

F.lux is a utility designed to dim computer screens during the evening hours ahead of sleep. It has been scientifically proven that exposure to bright, white or blue range light before going to bed interferes with restful sleep and can cause tiredness and irritability. In this sense, F.lux is a great tool, which, some might argue, has been made largely obsolete with the widespread adoption of Windows 10, which has a built-in screen light dimmer and color changer.

F.lux does offer a handful of special options that the build-in Windows 10 dimmer does not possess, but if those are not enough to persuade you to keep F.lux installed, you may want to uninstall the program. This article will give you a brief guide on how to do that, on both Windows and Mac computers.

If you are uninstalling F.lux from a Windows 10 PC, do the following:

  1. Open your start menu and type in “control panel”, then click the Control Panel application that shows up.
  2. Inside the Control Panel window, click on “Programs and features”.
  3. In the list of installed programs, find and right click on F.lux.
  4. Select “Uninstall” in the popup and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the uninstall process.

If you are uninstalling F.lux from a Mac computer, do the following:

  1. Open the F.lux settings panel near your system clock and select “Quit f.lux”.
  2. Navigate to your Applications folder, either using the system dock icon or by using Finder.
  3. Drag and drop the F.lux icon onto your Trash.
  4. Empty your Trash to finish the uninstallation.

If your screen remained dimmed and tinted when you uninstalled the application on a Mac, go to System Preferences, Displays and Color, then delete the f.lux color profile. You may need to reboot your Mac to revert to normal color tint. If the screen still looks odd, disable automatic brightness correction, reboot once again, then re-enable automatic brightness.

This should take care of the uninstall process on either operating system.
