How to delete Wondershare converter from your Mac

Wondershare Video Converter (Wondershare UniConverter) allows you to convert video files from a range of different formats into optimized ones for your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. It can also install a browser extension that allows you to download files from video streaming sites like YouTube. And you can even use it as a video editing tool, but only if you need basic functionality.

If, after using Wondershare for a while, you came to the point that you no longer want it on your Mac, it's time to get rid of it. But don't think it's as easy as dragging the Wondershare from your Applications folder to the Trash. This is not exactly the solution that will remove it completely from the Mac device. You'll end up having lots of junk files lying around on your startup drive. So let us show you the way to uninstall Wondershare for good.

How to remove Wondershare from your Mac

There are two main ways to remove Wondershare from Mac. And any other app for that matter. Keep on reading, and we'll provide steps for manual app deletion and automatic app removal with the help of a dedicated uninstaller app for Mac.

Manual removal

First, go to your Applications folder and locate the Wondershare Video Converter app, then drag it to the Trash.

Next, you'll need to go to various folders and remove the files that were installed along with the app: 

1. In Finder, click on the Go menu and choose "Go to Folder".
   
2. Тype the following into the text box: /Library/Application Support
   

   

3. Find these files in the folder and drag them to the Trash:
   Wondershare
   Wondershare video converter ultimate
4. Now, repeat step 2, but go to this folder: /Library/Caches
   

   

5. Remove these two files by dragging them to the Trash:
   com.wondershare.helper_compact
   com.Wondershare-Video-Converter-Ultimate
6. Repeat step 2 again, but this time, go to /Library/Preferences
   

   

7. Find these files and move them to the Trash:
   com.Wondershare.Video-Converter-Ultimate.plist
   com.wondershare.helper_compact.plist

Don't forget to empty Trash and restart your Mac.
