REALLY DELETING ZOOM
4/2/20
There’s deleting Zoom, and then there’s really deleting Zoom. Here’s how to really scrub away all traces of it.
Most websites say that Zoom can be removed by going to your Applications folder and dragging zoom.us.app to the trash. That’s a start, but there’s several other bits of Zoom still hanging around in the Library folder. Here they are:
~/Library/Application Support/zoom.us
~/Library/Caches/us.zoom.xos
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ZoomUsPlugIn.plugin
~/Library/Logs/zoom.us
~/Library/Logs/zoominstall.log
~/Library/Preferences/us.zoom.xos.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ZoomChat.plist
~/Library/Saved Application State/us.zoom.xos.savedState
These can be deleted by navigating to these folders in the Finder and manually dragging them to the trash, or these can be removed from Terminal.app
