cc-switch provider management: cannot delete, or adding fails
Quick fix
Mostly UI limits or version bugs. The last provider cannot be deleted; for input and delete failures, upgrade or turn the feature off.
Symptom
Section titled “Symptom”Claude添加了供应商，现在gemini尝试添加一个provider后，无法删除了。这个provider有什么办法删除吗？I added a provider for Claude, and now after trying to add a provider for gemini I cannot delete it. Is there any way to delete this provider?
This cluster holds several UI problems around providers, request addresses, and session management. The core one: cc-switch protects the last remaining provider and refuses to delete it, because the matching app cannot work without one. If you no longer use a provider such as gemini, turn the related feature off in settings rather than deleting it. The other variants — adding a provider failing, // not being enterable in the request address, a deleted endpoint returning after a refresh, and adding or deleting request addresses not saving — are mostly old-version bugs, some of which maintainers said would be or have been fixed in a newer release.
If the provider you want to delete is the only one for that app, cc-switch will not allow it. Turn the app or provider feature off in settings instead — for example, disable the gemini features if you do not use gemini.
If adding, deleting, entering a request address, or saving behaves oddly, upgrade cc-switch to the latest version. Maintainers said several similar problems would be fixed in a new release.
If the old config survives an uninstall and reinstall and deleting files inside the .config folder does not help, the config is probably held by app state or a higher-priority config. Upgrade and configure again.
Affected Versions

Section titled “Source Issues”This page is distilled from 10 real issues
- Why can the only provider not be deleted?
- Because the matching app cannot work without one, so cc-switch protects it. If you no longer use it, turn the related feature off in settings.
- The config survives an uninstall and reinstall. What now?
- Users report the config remaining after a reinstall, with deleting the .config folder having no effect. Upgrade to a newer version and configure again.
- I no longer use the gemini provider. What should I do?
- Turn the gemini features off in settings.
- // cannot be typed into the request address. Is that an input method problem?
- No. It showed up on v3.9.1 on macOS, switching input method did not help, and there were no error logs — it is an input handling bug.
- A deleted endpoint comes back after a refresh. What now?
- That is an old-version endpoint deletion bug. Upgrade, or wait for the maintainers to release a fix.
