Downloaded Add-on and it crashed my anki competely

was looking for a dark mode add on and came across this. I very obliviously downloaded it without reading the reviews first. It completely crashed my anki, the app wont re-open. I uninstalled the files for anki and re-downloaded it and it still doesn’t work. Please help.

add on code: 1911087953

I don’t think I’ve ever seen reviews that quite so clearly indicate you shouldn’t use an add-on. :person_facepalming:t4:

I don’t know what 's going on under the hood of that add-on, but it would be rare for it to do any permanent damage. You need to go where your user data is stored and find it in your Anki2/addons21 folder – it will be the folder named with that add-on code. Delete that folder. Then you can try to run Anki again.

If that doesn’t work, we might have to get more creative.

This add-on’s code is clearly malware, it’s dangerous and needs to be removed immediately.

@Farouk47 I recommend changing all your passwords immediately (All accounts you’re logged in in your web browser and Discord/Steam accounts)
