Uninstall PureMac on Mac

Review PureMac’s own exclusions or scan preferences before uninstalling it; files it previously scanned belong to their original apps. The September 19, 2026 record covers the app copied from the official package.

Quit and remove the app

Quit PureMac, then move PureMac.app to Trash. If its Finder service or scheduled scan was enabled, inspect those entries individually in System Settings rather than deleting unrelated app data. The official page has more product information.

Review the app’s data

The cask lists ~/Library/Caches/com.puremac.app, ~/Library/Preferences/com.puremac.app.plist and ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.puremac.scheduler.plist. The last is a specific scheduled task, not permission to clear all LaunchAgents.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The Homebrew cask has its own --zap list. brew uninstall --cask puremac removes the cask without that list; brew uninstall --cask --zap puremac also acts on its listed data without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. Zap includes the scheduler plist; verify its exact owner before running it. Mole also suppresses zap if its list would cross an unchecked, shared, unknown, or unsupported path; selected remnants still follow Mole’s own deletion path.

brew uninstall --cask puremac

Check the result

These commands inspect the running process and one relevant location. They do not remove anything:

pgrep -il "PureMac"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.puremac.scheduler.plist"

No pgrep match means no process with that name is running; a match needs identification before quitting anything. A listed path still exists, while an ls “No such file” error means only that exact path is absent. A permission error is inconclusive.

What Mole lists

Mole selects exact PureMac bundle-ID cache and preference rows by default when safe. A scheduler Launch Agent needs its exact label and owner checked before removal.

What this test covered

The September 19, 2026 official-package run removed PureMac 3.0.0. The recorded review did not establish whether an enabled scheduled scan was removed.
