How to uninstall 必剪 on Mac
Before removing 必剪, preserve editable drafts and their linked source video, audio and image files. An exported video is not an editable project. Check the draft location inside the installed app and copy the materials outside its workspace before clearing local data. The recorded test declined the terms, so it did not create a normal draft or verify Bilibili cloud uploads.
The recorded test used the official Mac package; the Homebrew route below is separate.
Remove the app
Quit BCUT and move BCUT.app from Applications to Trash. Leave your Movies folder and exported videos alone. If a Bilibili account has uploaded a video, inspect that account separately; removing the desktop app does not retract a publication.
Review local data
The path below was observed in the recorded test. In Finder, use Go › Go to Folder to inspect it. Do not remove its parent directory or another product’s data.
| Location | Decision |
|---|---|
~/Library/Containers/com.bilibili.bcutcreator |
A 156 KB container was observed in the official-package test; the removal hit a Trash permission error, so do not count it as removed. |
The tested package uses bundle ID com.bilibili.bcutcreator. Review only files that actually appear on this Mac. A missing path needs no cleanup.

Check what remains
Run these read-only commands after quitting the app:
pgrep -il 'BCUT|必剪'
ls -d "$HOME/Library/Containers/com.bilibili.bcutcreator"
No process output means there is no matching process running now; it does not prove every helper is gone. A listed process needs its owner checked. If ls prints the path, that item remains and needs review. “No such file or directory” means this path is absent; a permission error means its state was not established.
If you installed it with Homebrew
The current bcut cask has a zap list covering a bcut support folder plus caches, HTTP storage, logs, preferences and saved state for the cask’s cn.bilibili.bcut identity. A direct brew command with --zap applies the cask list without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. After backing up, use this command without --zap:
brew uninstall --cask bcut
Mole checks each zap path against your selections, other installed apps, and protected locations. An unchecked, shared, or unverifiable path suppresses --zap; selected remnants can still use Mole’s own removal flow. This cask was not the recorded installation channel.
What Mole lists
Mole lists the official-package container when found and selects the exact-ID row by default; the 746845GC96.com.bilibili.bcutcreator app group is protected. The Homebrew cask uses a different identifier, so review its zap paths as a separate channel.
What this test covered
On September 20, 2026, the official BCUT 3.11.24 app was opened and the terms were declined, then review rows were selected for uninstall. The 156 KB container was not moved because Trash returned error 513. No draft, source-media folder, upload or signed-in account was tested.
