Uninstall Discord on Mac
Quit Discord and move it from Applications to the Trash. Discord’s updater still writes files under an older id, com.discord.discord.ShipIt, after the app itself became com.hnc.Discord.
What Mole lists
Mole includes these in the plan you review. Skip a missing path.
| Location | What it is |
|---|---|
~/Library/Caches/com.discord.discord.ShipIt |
Updater cache under the older id. |
~/Library/Preferences/com.discord.discord.ShipIt.plist |
Updater preferences under the older id. |
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.discord.discord.ShipIt.*.plist |
Per-Mac updater preferences. The * stands for the host suffix macOS already added. |
Mole does not treat that older id as a shared alias for other apps. Your servers and messages stay with your Discord account.
