Uninstall Tencent Meeting on Mac
Save any local meeting recordings, chat exports, or shared files you want to keep before removing Tencent Meeting (腾讯会议): they live wherever you chose to save them during a meeting, commonly Downloads or Documents, not inside the app's own data. These steps cover the official DMG from Tencent's site and the Homebrew cask tencent-meeting; the recorded test used the Homebrew cask.
Quit Tencent Meeting and remove the app
Leave or end any meeting, quit Tencent Meeting from its menu, then move TencentMeeting from Applications to the Trash. Removing the app does not end meetings you scheduled or cancel any paid plan tied to your account.
Where Tencent Meeting keeps its data
| Location | What it holds | What to do |
|---|---|---|
~/Library/Containers/com.tencent.meeting* |
The app's sandboxed data: settings and local state | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/Containers/com.tencent.wemeet.FileDelta |
Incremental update data | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/com.tencent.meeting and ~/Library/com.tencent.meeting.UpdateServer |
An exact bundle folder sitting directly on the Library root, holding a background process monitor | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/Caches/com.tencent.meeting* |
Disk cache | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.tencent.meeting* |
Per-site storage cache | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/Preferences/com.tencent.meeting*.plist |
App preferences | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.tencent.meeting.savedState |
Window state | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/WebKit/com.tencent.meeting |
Embedded web view data | Safe to remove with the app |
~/Library/Application Scripts/com.tencent.meeting and ~/Library/Application Scripts/FN2V63AD2J.com.tencent.meeting |
Sandboxed helper script folders | Safe to remove with the app |
Every path above except the Library-root bundle folder (~/Library/com.tencent.meeting and .UpdateServer) comes from the Homebrew Tencent Meeting cask's zap list, which matches what the official DMG writes to the same locations; the Library-root folder is not in that zap list at all, so it survives even if you run the zap step yourself outside Mole, and only Mole's own review can remove it. The zap list also names ~/Library/Group Containers/FN2V63AD2J.com.tencent.meeting; that Team ID belongs to Tencent's QQ, not Meeting itself, so Mole’s own review never lists it and it is unrelated to your meeting data either way.
Check the result
Run these read-only commands in Terminal:
pgrep -ilf "TencentMeeting"
ls -d "$HOME/Library/Containers/com.tencent.meeting"
ls -d "$HOME/Library/com.tencent.meeting"
No output from pgrep means Tencent Meeting is not running. The first ls shows whether the app's own container is still on this Mac; "No such file or directory" means it is gone. Sandboxed app containers occasionally report a permission error when Mole tries to move them, rather than actually surviving; verify with Finder if you see one. The second ls shows whether the Library-root bundle folder is still present; a listed path is expected if you kept it.
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.
In Preview 290, Mole removes a Homebrew-installed copy with brew uninstall --cask --zap tencent-meeting, and the zap list runs on its own regardless of what you ticked in Mole's review list. Homebrew Tencent Meeting cask
In Preview 290, Homebrew’s zap list runs independently of the review rows. To skip the zap list entirely and remove only the app, run:
brew uninstall --cask tencent-meeting
Account and subscription
Removing the app does not sign you out of your Tencent Meeting account, does not cancel a paid plan, and does not delete meetings, recordings stored in Tencent's cloud, or your meeting history. Manage those from meeting.tencent.com.
What Mole lists
This describes Mole 1.15, currently in Preview. The app's Container, caches, preferences, saved window state and WebKit data are selected by default. The Library-root bundle folder (~/Library/com.tencent.meeting and .UpdateServer) is listed but not selected. Containers/com.tencent.wemeet.FileDelta carries a different bundle id from Tencent Meeting's own, so Mole never lists it, and Mole’s own review never lists or touches the shared FN2V63AD2J.com.tencent group Tencent's QQ uses either. Running Homebrew’s zap list yourself bypasses Mole’s review.
What this test covered
The recorded uninstall used the Homebrew cask on September 17, 2026, with a development build of Mole. The app was removed; the Library-root bundle folder stayed on disk, listed but not selected, as the design above intends, and the QQ-owned shared group was confirmed not collected at all. Recordings, chat exports, and signed-in account state were not tested.
