Uninstall CleanMyMac Business

(Updated: )

You can completely uninstall the CleanMyMac Business desktop app from your Mac either through the app settings (recommended method) or using Terminal.

Uninstall through app settings

  1. Open the app settings.

  2. On the General tab, click Delete App.

  3. In the dialog that opens, confirm your choice.

You'll be signed out of your account if you were signed in, and the app will be fully removed from your Mac.

If this method fails, try uninstalling the app using Terminal.

Uninstall using Terminal

Follow these steps only if uninstalling through the app settings didn't work.

  1. Open Terminal:

    • Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Terminal in the search field, then click Terminal.

    • In the Finder, open the /Applications/Utilities folder, then double-click Terminal.

  2. In Terminal, enter the following command, then press Return to run it:

    launchctl bootout gui/`id -u` "${HOME}/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.cmm-business.LaunchAgent.plist";
    killall "CleanMyMac Business";
    rm -rf "/Applications/CleanMyMac Business.app";
    rm -rf ${HOME}/Library/Application\ Support/CleanMyMac\ Business;
    rm -rf ${HOME}/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.cmm-business.LaunchAgent.plist

Once the command is executed, the app will be deleted completely from your Mac. You'll also get the message "No matching processes belonging to you were found"—this is expected and nothing to worry about.

If you decide to re-install the app later, refer to Download and install.
