How to uninstall 芒果TV on Mac
If 芒果TV has downloaded programmes on this Mac, review the app’s download list and decide what to keep before removing local data. Check account history or purchases in the service separately; the tested app was only opened briefly and did not establish signed-in playback or downloads.
The recorded test used the official Mac package.
Remove the app
Quit 芒果TV and move 芒果TV.app from Applications to Trash. The vendor’s download center lists a Mac client. Do not clear video files or another app’s container merely because a name contains MGTV; inspect their owner first.
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.mgtv.MGTV-macOS |
A 12 KB container survived the test but was not listed by Mole because its ID differs from the tested pcclientx bundle ID. Inspect before any manual action. |
The tested package uses bundle ID com.mgtv.pcclientx. 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 '芒果TV'
ls -d "$HOME/Library/Containers/com.mgtv.MGTV-macOS"
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.
What Mole lists
For a com.mgtv.pcclientx app, Mole selects exact-ID cache, WebKit, HTTP storage and preference rows by default. The differently named com.mgtv.MGTV-macOS container is not automatically attributed to that identity; inspect it separately.
What this test covered
The official Mac app 6.5.9 was installed and removed on September 20, 2026. The exact-ID cache, WebKit, HTTP storage and preferences were trashed. A 12 KB alternate-ID container remained unlisted, and temporary WebKit entries failed with Trash error 513. The test did not verify downloads or account state.
