## Disable a package completely
To completely disable a package and effectively uninstalling it even if it
is part of your used layers, look for the variable
`dotspacemacs-excluded-packages` in your dotfile and add the package name
to it:
```elisp
dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(package1 package2 ...)
```
## Disable a package only for a specific major-mode
This is done by removing the hook added by Spacemacs. For example to
remove `flycheck` support in python buffers, look for the function
`dotspacemacs/config` in your dotfile and add the following code:
```elisp
(remove-hook 'python-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)
```
**Hint** to know the name of the major-mode of the current buffer press:
<kbd>SPC h d v major-mode RET</kbd>
