How do I completely uninstall Setapp and it's helpers manually?

The Setapp.app helper missed my first attempt to Trash the app (maybe an earlier version?). So I need to clean out it's various helpers and plugins manually.

Here's what I've found so far:

/Applications/Setapp.app
/Applications/Setapp/ <- if you have installed anything

~/Library/Application Support/Setapp/...
~/Library/Application Scripts/com.setapp.*
~/Library/Containers/com.setapp.*
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.setapp.*
~/Library/QuickLook/SetappQL.qlgenerator

If I delete all the above will that completely remove Setapp? If not, what else do I need to do?


Solution 1:

The correct way to uninstall it is :

If you did not undo it in this way, you must use the "Remove Setapp" tool that is delivered to you in the support.

Solution 2:

Setapp is absolutely brutal to get rid of. Even if you think you've uninstalled it, lingering Setapp demons will continue to hijack independent processes and legitimately purchased apps (like Gemini 2, in my case) and try to subsume them under the Setapp environment which isn't even supposed to exist any longer.

In fact, I just had to create a new account with that company in order to

  1. re-install all of Setapp again

and then

  1. try a complete uninstall.

This is what worked. Finally. Finally...

Run this thing:

/Applications/Setapp.app/Contents/Resources/SetappUninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/SetappUninstaller

Solution 3:

The "Complete Uninstall" option does not remove SetappQL.qlgenerator or the com.setapp.DesktopClient.SetappAgent.FinderSyncExt folder. JUST went through the list in the first answer after doing a "fresh uninstall".
