Manual ways to only uninstall Roblox app
Maybe you don't care about the numerous related leftovers, or you think you have so much storage space, here you can uninstall the Roblox app only. It's highly recommended to clean all other data in the next section.
# Drag and drop method

- Navigate to the extensions or add-ons page.

Manual ways to uninstall Roblox leftovers
Even after uninstalling the app only, Roblox may leave behind support files, logs, caches, plist file, sandbox items, status data, and more. To clean them up:
# Search in Library folders
Roblox-related files are scattered in macOS Library folders. Please find and delete them at once:
- Finder > Go > Go to Folder.
- Check these directories and delete them:
~/Library/Application Support/Roblox → Delete the Roblox folder.
~/Library/Caches/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer → Delete this folder.
~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.plist → Delete the file.
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.savedState → Delete the folder.
~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer → Delete this folder (if present).
~/Library/Logs/Roblox
/Library/Application Support/Roblox (admin password required).
/Library/LaunchDaemons or ~/Library/LaunchAgents (look for Roblox-related .plist files). - Empty the Trash.
# Use Terminal commands
Besides deleting them one by one, you can run these commands in Terminal to delete common files of Roblox.
- Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
- Type these commands one by one:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Roblox
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.savedState
rm -rf ~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer* - Restart your Mac.
Some tips for uninstalling Roblox
After uninstalling Roblox on Mac, here you have to be careful of:
- Search "Roblox" in Spotlight (Command + Space) to ensure no remnants remain.
- Check /Applications, ~/Library/Application Support/, and ~/Library/Caches/ again.
- Roblox runs in browsers, too. Clearing browser cache/data isn't required for uninstallation but may resolve leftover issues.
- Download Roblox again from https://www.roblox.com/download if needed later.
For the fastest and most thorough removal, using CleanMyApp is better. If you prefer doing it manually, remember to delete leftover files from your Library folder or Terminal to free up disk space completely.
