Uninstall Logi Options+ on Mac

Logi Options+ installs across both your user folder and system-level /Library, runs a device-management daemon, and its installer sets up a second, separate program alongside it, so plan for an admin password prompt and a possible restart. These steps cover Logitech's official installer (from logitech.com) and the Homebrew cask logi-options+, which runs that same official installer under the hood.

Quit Logi Options+ and its background processes

Quit Logi Options+ from its menu bar icon. Logitech's installer also sets up several background jobs: com.logi.optionsplus (the main app), com.logi.optionsplus.driverhost and com.logi.optionsplus.updater, and com.logi.cp-dev-mgr, a device-manager daemon that runs even when Logi Options+ itself is closed. If you use a Logitech webcam, the installer may also have set up com.logitech.LogiRightSight and its agent for AI framing. Move Logi Options+ from Applications to the Trash once these have quit; if macOS says it is still running, check Activity Monitor first.

The separate LogiPluginService app

Logitech's installer also places a second, independent program at /Applications/Utilities/LogiPluginService.app (com.logi.pluginservice). It is not part of the Logi Options+ bundle and is not removed when you uninstall Logi Options+ through either channel below; it shows up as its own entry in Mole's Software list. Remove it separately, the same way, if you no longer want it.

If your Mac shows a Logitech.localized/LogiRightSightForWebcams entry, that is also a separate product the installer sets up for webcam framing, with its own installer receipt and login item; removing Logi Options+ does not remove it either.

Where Logi Options+ keeps its data

Location	What it holds	What to do
`~/Library/Application Support/LogiOptionsPlus`	Your device profiles and app-specific button/gesture assignments	Back it up first if you want your customization back after reinstalling
`/Library/Application Support/Logi` and `/Library/Application Support/Logitech.localized/LogiOptionsPlus`	System-level device and driver state, shared across Logitech software	Needs an administrator password to remove; safe to remove once Logi Options+ is gone
`/Library/Logs/Logi/LogiOptionsPlus`	Installer and driver logs	Safe to remove
`~/Library/Preferences/com.logi.cp-dev-mgr.plist` and its cache	Preferences for the device-manager daemon, which several Logitech apps can share	Leave this if you use other Logitech software; otherwise safe to remove
`/Applications/Utilities/Logi Options+ Driver Installer.bundle`	The driver installer program Logitech's installer keeps around	Safe to remove once Logi Options+ is gone

A small ~/Library/Application Support/LogiOptionsPlus folder can end up owned by root rather than by you, because Logitech's installer runs the driver setup step with administrator privileges; Mole's own removal cannot move a folder it does not own, so check ownership (ls -la ~/Library/Application\ Support/) before deciding whether to remove it yourself with Finder or an administrator's help.

Check the result

Run these read-only commands in Terminal:

pgrep -il logi
launchctl list | grep -i logi
pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i logi

No output from the first two commands means no Logitech process or background job is running. pkgutil lists any Logitech installer receipts still recorded on this Mac; a receipt without a matching app or folder is a record, not a running program, and does not affect anything.

For other apps whose installer leaves a background job running after the app itself is gone, see App Still Running After Uninstall on Mac? Find Login Items and Launch Tasks.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The next Mole update will skip --zap when its list reaches unchecked or shared data, or cannot be fully checked. Mole will still clean the leftovers you selected. Preview 290 does not include this protection.

The logi-options+ cask runs Logitech's own installer with sudo, so installing it also prompts for an administrator password, and Logitech's installer recommends a restart afterward. Even without Mole's --zap step, Homebrew's ordinary removal already quits the background jobs above, deletes the app, the Driver Installer bundle, and both system-level /Library/Application Support/Logi folders. In Preview 290, Mole runs brew uninstall --cask --zap logi-options+, and the zap step additionally removes your device profiles (~/Library/Application Support/LogiOptionsPlus), a shared ~/Library/Application Support/Logi folder, several preferences files including com.logi.cp-dev-mgr.plist, saved window state, and two folders, logi and LogiOptionsPlus, in the Shared folder under Users that every account on this Mac can see, not just yours, whatever you selected in Mole. It does not remove LogiPluginService.app, which stays installed either way. Back up your device profiles first, or skip zap to keep them:

brew uninstall --cask logi-options+

Account and subscription

Logi Options+ is free; there is no subscription. If you sign in with a Logi ID, the app can back up your device settings to Logitech's cloud automatically. Check the sync/backup toggle in the app's account settings before removing anything if you want those settings available on another Mac later. Uninstalling does not delete your Logi ID account; it only removes what is stored on this Mac, and Windows and Mac device settings are not compatible with each other even in the same account.

What Mole lists

This describes Mole 1.15 (currently in Preview):

For the official installer, Mole can remove the system-level /Library Logi folders and their log folder with an administrator password, as part of the app's uninstall.
/Applications/Utilities/LogiPluginService.app is never treated as part of Logi Options+; it appears as its own row in Mole's Software list.
A small ~/Library/Application Support/LogiOptionsPlus folder that ends up owned by root, and the com.logi.cp-dev-mgr preferences and cache, are not currently claimed by any Mole rule and are left on disk after a direct removal.
For a Homebrew install in Preview 290, Mole runs brew uninstall --cask --zap logi-options+; Homebrew's own uninstall step already clears the system-level /Library folders regardless of zap, and the zap step additionally removes your device profiles and several preferences files, whatever you selected.

What this test covered

Logi Options+ was tested twice. On September 19, 2026, a Preview build of Mole removed it through the Homebrew cask: only the main app was selected by default, while the Driver Installer and LogiPluginService rows were shown but not ticked; 567.3 MB was removed, 29 KB was kept (a system crash report and a launch item), and LogiPluginService.app (346 MB) was left behind by design. On September 23 and 24, 2026, the official Logitech installer was used instead: the first Mole run removed the main /Library/Application Support/Logi folder and three background jobs but missed a 753 MB Logitech.localized/LogiOptionsPlus folder because of how its vendor folder was named; that gap was fixed, and a second run on September 24 removed it along with the log folder. A folder inside the Driver Installer bundle, the root-owned home-directory folder above, and the com.logi.cp-dev-mgr preferences were left behind in both official-installer runs and have not yet been re-verified against a live install.
