Uninstall WPS 国内包 on Mac

Save locally stored WPS documents and confirm cloud copies can be opened before uninstalling the Chinese Mac edition. The September 19, 2026 record covers the app copied from the official package.

Quit and remove the app

Quit WPS Office and its Finder integration, then move the Chinese-edition app to Trash. Keep documents and any separately installed international edition; they are different apps. The official page has more product information.

Review the app’s data

The cask lists ~/Library/Containers/com.kingsoft.wpsoffice.mac and suffixed FinderSync or recentfiles containers, plus ~/Library/Containers/YK4WKE5WAM.wpsoffice. The short team group needs separate ownership review. Keep international-edition data.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The Homebrew cask has its own --zap list. brew uninstall --cask wpsoffice-cn removes the cask without that list; brew uninstall --cask --zap wpsoffice-cn also acts on its listed data without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. Zap also lists the short group and extension containers, so compare each owner first. 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 wpsoffice-cn

Check the result

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

pgrep -il "WPS"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Containers/com.kingsoft.wpsoffice.mac"

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 domestic-edition bundle-ID containers and app scripts by default when ownership is clear. It does not auto-claim the short team group, and a still-installed .mac.global app keeps its own files.

What this test covered

The September 19, 2026 official-package test used Chinese edition 12.1.28496. The short YK4WKE5WAM.wpsoffice group remained outside automatic removal. The record does not verify a signed-in cloud account or removal of the international edition.
