Uninstall ChatGPT on Mac
Quit ChatGPT and move it from Applications to the Trash. The copy inspected here signs as com.openai.codex, while the data Mole knows from the older Mac app still uses com.openai.chat. Those are listed for you to review. ~/.codex is command-line data for Codex and is not on this list.

Mole does not list ~/.codex. It also does not list Feishu or Lark folders just because an internal alias table mentions them. Removing the app does not cancel a ChatGPT subscription.
