How to Uninstall ChatGPT Plugins

Uninstalling a ChatGPT plugin removes it from the plugin list so you can no longer select it in chats. The original plugin feature has been retired, so the steps depend on whether you mean an older ChatGPT plugin, a connected app, or a browser extension; you’ll need access to the relevant ChatGPT account or browser settings.

What You’ll Need

The ChatGPT account where the plugin or app was connected, if it was an account-level connection.
A web browser or the ChatGPT app, with internet access.
If the item is a browser extension, access to the browser profile where it was installed.

Step-by-Step

Identify what you want to remove. “ChatGPT plugin” can refer to the legacy plugins available in ChatGPT, a connected third-party app or service, or an extension installed in your browser. These are managed separately. If you used a plugin from ChatGPT’s old plugin store, follow the legacy-plugin guidance below. If you mean an integration you connected more recently, look for it under connected apps. If it adds a button or changes the ChatGPT website in your browser, check extensions.
Sign in to the correct ChatGPT account. Open ChatGPT and confirm you are using the account where you enabled the feature. If you have multiple accounts or workspaces, check the account menu and switch to the right one. Connections can be specific to an account or workspace, so removing an item from another profile will not affect the one you used.
Check whether the item is a connected app. Open your profile or account menu and go to Settings. Find the section named Apps or the connected-app controls available in your version of ChatGPT. Locate the relevant service and choose its disconnect, remove, or manage option if shown. Confirm the removal when prompted. Labels and availability may differ by account, region, workspace, and current product interface.
Remove any remaining authorization at the service itself, if needed. Disconnecting an app in ChatGPT may not revoke permissions previously granted on the service’s own website. If you want to end that authorization too, sign in directly to that service and look for its connected apps, integrations, or authorized access settings. Revoke only the connection you recognize and intend to remove. This step is separate from uninstalling a browser extension.
For an old ChatGPT plugin, check whether it is still available. The legacy ChatGPT plugin feature and plugin store were retired; current ChatGPT accounts generally do not have the old plugin-management screen. If you no longer see a Plugins option in ChatGPT settings or the model selector, there may be nothing left to uninstall there. You do not need to install another tool or use a special removal utility. If the plugin has a separate browser extension or external account connection, remove that separately.
Uninstall a browser extension if that is what you meant. In Chrome, open the browser’s Extensions menu, choose Manage extensions, find the extension, and select Remove. In Microsoft Edge, open Extensions, choose Manage extensions, then select Remove for the item. In Firefox, open the menu, choose Add-ons and themes, select Extensions, and use the menu beside the extension to remove it. Browser labels can change; use the browser’s built-in extensions page if the menu differs.
Check other browser profiles and devices. If you use multiple browser profiles, repeat the extension check in the profile where it was installed. If extension sync is enabled, removal may sync to other devices, but check those devices if the extension remains. Account-level app connections and locally installed extensions are different: removing one does not necessarily remove the other.
Verify the change. Refresh ChatGPT or close and reopen the browser. Check the app or extension list again, and start a new chat if necessary. The item should no longer appear as an available connected app or browser extension. If it remains, confirm you removed the correct item from the correct account, workspace, or browser profile.

Common Mistakes

Looking for a retired Plugins menu. The old plugin store is no longer generally available, so current instructions that rely on an old plugin-management screen may not match your account.
Removing the wrong kind of item. Disconnecting an app in ChatGPT does not uninstall a browser extension, and removing an extension does not necessarily revoke a service’s account authorization.
Using the wrong account or profile. Verify both the ChatGPT account or workspace and the browser profile before concluding that removal failed.
Assuming removal deletes your data everywhere. Disconnecting usually stops or limits the connection; it does not necessarily delete data already held by the third-party service. Check that service’s own controls for data deletion.
Expecting a refresh to remove every trace immediately. Cached pages or an existing chat may still show earlier content. Check the settings list and open a fresh chat before troubleshooting further.

Tips

Write down the exact name of the app or extension before removing it, especially if several entries have similar names.
If you only want to stop using a connected app, disconnect it from ChatGPT; uninstalling unrelated browser tools is unnecessary.
Use the browser’s official extension-management page rather than downloading a third-party uninstaller.
For a managed work or school account, an administrator may control available apps or extensions. Ask the administrator if the removal option is missing or disabled.
Keep in mind that menu names change. Look for the equivalent app-connection or extension-management controls rather than relying on screenshots from an older interface.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the app or plugin in ChatGPT. Check that you are signed into the account and workspace where you connected it. Then look in Settings for the current apps or connected-services section. If you mean a legacy plugin and no plugin controls are present, the feature may already have been retired for your account.

The remove option is missing or disabled. Refresh ChatGPT, sign out and back in, and check the same settings page in a browser. A workspace administrator may manage connections, or the product may not offer removal for that particular item in the current interface. Contact your workspace administrator or ChatGPT support if the setting remains unavailable.

The extension still appears after I removed it. Open the browser’s extensions-management page directly, confirm it is removed from the active profile, then restart the browser. Check other profiles and devices, especially if browser sync is on. If the extension is controlled by an organization, contact its administrator.

The service still has access after I disconnected it. Review the service’s own authorized-apps or integrations settings and revoke the ChatGPT connection there if it is listed. For questions about stored data or deletion, use the service’s privacy or data controls; disconnecting alone may not erase previously stored information.

ChatGPT still shows old plugin results in a conversation. Past messages are conversation history, not proof that the plugin remains installed. Start a new chat and check the current connection list. Do not share sensitive information just to test whether a removed integration is active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still uninstall a legacy ChatGPT plugin?
The old plugin feature has been retired, and its management screen may no longer be available. If you cannot find plugin controls, there may be no legacy plugin left to uninstall in ChatGPT.

Does uninstalling a plugin delete my old chats?
No. Removing or disconnecting an integration does not normally erase existing conversation history. Manage chats separately in ChatGPT if you want to remove them.

Does disconnecting an app delete my account with that service?
No. It disconnects the integration, not your separate account. Use the service’s own account settings if you want to close that account or request data deletion.

Why can’t I see the same settings as an online guide?
ChatGPT’s interface and available features can vary over time and by account, workspace, or region. Older guides may show the retired Plugins menu.

Do I need to remove a browser extension too?
Only if you installed a separate extension. ChatGPT app connections and browser extensions are managed in different places.

Will removal apply to all my devices?
Account-level disconnections generally apply to that account, while extensions may be installed per browser profile. Check other profiles or devices if the item remains.

General steps for current mainstream versions; menus can differ by device and version. See the disclaimer or report an error.
