Removing your podcast from Spotify while keeping it on other platforms
If you wish to remove your podcast specifically from Spotify while keeping it active on Acast and other directories, you must contact their support team directly.
Because the initial submission process is a one-way integration, Acast cannot manually disable it from your Distribution tab. When reaching out to Spotify, be sure to include the following to expedite your request:
Your Acast RSS feed
A link to your show on Spotify

Removing your podcast from Spotify after deleting it on Acast
When you delete a show entirely within Acast, it is automatically removed from most other platforms. This usually takes up to 24 hours, depending on how frequently each platform refreshes its data.
Note: Spotify is a notable exception. It can often take several weeks for a podcast to become unavailable on their platform after the RSS feed has been deleted.
To speed this up, you can contact them at https://support.spotify.com/us/podcasters/contact-spotify-support/ to request a manual removal.
