How to uninstall Roblox on Mac

Removing Roblox from a Mac removes the player app. It does not delete your Roblox account. The app keeps little on the Mac itself: a preferences file, logs, a cookie file, a ~/Library/Roblox folder and temporary caches. These steps cover Roblox Player downloaded from Roblox and the Homebrew cask roblox. Roblox Studio is a separate app that this test did not cover, so if it is installed, leave its files alone.

Quit Roblox completely

Roblox runs a menu bar item as well as the player window. Roblox's uninstall article says to press Command + Option + Esc and make sure neither Roblox nor Roblox Studio appears in the Force Quit window. If one does, select it and click Force Quit. Then search Activity Monitor for Roblox and check that nothing is left. Homebrew's cask quits the menu bar item separately as com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.MenuBar, so a closed window alone does not mean Roblox has exited.

Remove the app

Following the same article, open Applications in Finder and drag Roblox to the Trash. Roblox's own download names the app RobloxPlayer.app, while the Homebrew cask installs it as Roblox.app; it is the same player.

Where Roblox keeps its data

In Finder, press Shift + Command + G and open each location that exists.

Location What it holds What to do
~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.plist Player settings Remove it with the app. Roblox's Mac troubleshooting article describes deleting the Roblox files in Library › Preferences to reset settings; the player writes them again on its next launch
~/Library/Logs/Roblox Logs Remove it; the same article has you empty this folder when troubleshooting
~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.binarycookies The player's cookie file Remove it with the app
~/Library/Roblox A folder the first launch created, 106 KB on the test Mac; Roblox does not document its contents for the Mac Review it. Keep it if Roblox Studio is installed, since this test did not check whether Studio uses it
com.roblox.RobloxPlayer in your per-user cache folder and Roblox in your per-user temporary folder Temporary caches Safe to remove once the app is gone

Check the result

Run these read-only commands in Terminal:

pgrep -il roblox
ls -d /Applications/Roblox.app /Applications/RobloxPlayer.app
ls -d ~/Library/Roblox ~/Library/Logs/Roblox "$(getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR)Roblox"
ls ~/Library/Preferences | grep -i roblox
  • No output from pgrep means no Roblox process is running. A listed process means the player or its menu bar item is still open; quit it first.
  • For each ls -d line, a printed path still exists and "No such file or directory" means it is gone. After removing the app, both app paths should report that error.
  • The last command lists every preferences file with Roblox in its name. No output means none are left. Files named for Roblox Studio belong to Studio; keep them if you still use it.

If you installed it with Homebrew

Mole skips --zap when its list reaches unchecked or shared data, or cannot be fully checked, and still cleans the leftovers you selected.

The roblox cask's zap list is ~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.binarycookies, ~/Library/Logs/Roblox, ~/Library/Preferences/com.Roblox.Roblox.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayerChannel.plist and ~/Library/Roblox (cask page). Running brew uninstall --cask --zap roblox yourself moves all of them to the Trash, whatever you ticked in Mole. Roblox Studio has its own cask, and its preferences are not in this list. To keep ~/Library/Roblox, remove only the app:

brew uninstall --cask roblox

What Mole lists

For Roblox installed from Roblox's own download:

  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.plist, ~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.roblox.RobloxPlayer.binarycookies, ~/Library/Logs/Roblox and the temporary cache folder named com.roblox.RobloxPlayer are selected by default.
  • The Roblox folder in your per-user temporary folder is listed but not selected.
  • Mole can also list ~/Library/Roblox, taken from Homebrew's zap list for this app, but does not select it.
  • Mole treats the menu bar helper and the installer app inside Roblox as part of it, so data filed under their IDs is listed for review when it exists.

What this test covered

On September 25, 2026, Roblox Player 0.740.0.7400927 was installed from Roblox's own download that Homebrew's cask points to, checked against the cask checksum and copied into Applications as RobloxPlayer.app. It was launched once without signing in and uninstalled with a development build of Mole, with every listed row ticked. Mole's Status page showed Roblox as one row with five processes using 877 MB. Mole's update check found no update channel it follows; the app carries its own RobloxPlayerInstaller.app. Seven items went to the Trash: the 290.4 MB app, ~/Library/Roblox, the logs, the preferences file, the cookie file and two temporary caches. Nothing the first launch wrote was left afterwards, and no login item or launch agent appeared. No game was played, and neither Roblox Studio nor the Homebrew cask was tested.
