I suspect the issue is related to the requirement for administrative privileges when installing or uninstalling in service mode. I was able to successfully uninstall by adding sudo before running scoop uninstall clash-verge-rev.

If you don't have sudo available, you can first install gsudo by running scoop install gsudo.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your help.

I found it was caused by a clash-verge-services.exe being occupied, which was registered as system services to gain high privileges. Meanwhile, the service would not stop after the main process terminated. I referred to the old version of the JSON file and found the old one invokes uninstall-service.exe, so I tried executing sudo ./resources/uninstall-services.exe first and then running scoop uninstall clash-verge-rev manually. It works.

According to the above information, I added the uninstall script snippet back and tested it on my machine. You can see my changes in the second commit of #14494.

In addition, I didn't add the installation script of the service, which will be installed when the program starts first time automatically now. So I think it's meaningless to install the service with the script.

I guess that maybe you forget to update, this problem only occurred on the latest version. Unfortunately, add prefix sudo simply when uninstall does not work 😢.
