How do I remove a Flatpak repository I added for one app?

October 3, 2026

Asked By MellowCedar27 On October 3, 2026

I'm new to using the terminal. I added the Flatpark repository so I could install Stoat, a Discord alternative, with this command:

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flatpark https://dl.flatpark.org/flatpark.flatpakrepo

Stoat is working, but I no longer want the Flatpark repository configured on my system. What is the correct way to remove it?

If Flatpak says the remote does not exist, first check which remotes are configured:

flatpak remotes --user
flatpak remotes --system

If `flatpark` appears in the system-wide list instead, remove it with:

sudo flatpak remote-delete flatpark

The command is `remote-delete`; `flatpak remove-repo` is not the appropriate command for deleting a configured remote.

Since you added it with the --user option, remove it from your user-level Flatpak remotes with:

flatpak --user remote-delete flatpark

This removes the repository configuration, but it should not uninstall Stoat or other applications already installed from it.
