Uninstall YesPlayMusic on Mac

Save any local playlist or player settings you intend to reuse before uninstalling YesPlayMusic. Your NetEase Music account is separate. The September 19, 2026 record covers the app copied from the official package.

Quit and remove the app

Quit playback and the Electron helpers, then move YesPlayMusic.app to Trash. Do not delete downloaded music or your NetEase account as part of removing this client. The official page has more product information.

Review the app’s data

The cask names ~/Library/Application Support/YesPlayMusic and exact com.electron.yesplaymusic preferences and saved state. The support folder can hold local player state; inspect it before choosing to remove it.

If you installed it with Homebrew

The Homebrew cask has its own --zap list. brew uninstall --cask yesplaymusic removes the cask without that list; brew uninstall --cask --zap yesplaymusic also acts on its listed data without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. Zap includes that support folder, which can contain settings. 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 yesplaymusic

Check the result

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

pgrep -il "YesPlayMusic"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Application Support/YesPlayMusic"

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 lists the display-name Application Support folder for review and normally leaves it unchecked; exact bundle-ID preferences can be selected by default. Other NetEase clients are not included.

What this test covered

The September 19, 2026 official-package test of YesPlayMusic 0.4.10 removed its Application Support data and grouped eight helpers into one Status row. It did not sign in to or delete a NetEase account.
