How to uninstall Yuque on Mac
Yuque keeps your documents in your account online, and its desktop app keeps local state in an Electron folder named yuque-desktop, which matches neither its display name 语雀 nor its bundle id com.yuque.app. Make sure your last edits have synced before you remove it. This covers the official package from yuque.com and the Homebrew cask yuque.
Quit Yuque and remove the app
- Quit 语雀 from its Dock icon or menu.
- Find 语雀 in Finder's Applications folder and move it to the Trash.
Where its data lives
| Location | What it holds | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| ~/Library/Application Support/yuque-desktop | The Electron app's local state, such as cookies, local storage and settings | Listed by Mole for review, not selected; remove it once your documents have synced |
Cache folders inside it, such as Cache, Code Cache and GPUCache |
Rebuildable Chromium caches, most of the folder's size in the test | Listed by Mole as separate rows and selected by default |
| ~/Library/Preferences/com.yuque.app.plist | Preferences | Remove with the app |
Check the result
pgrep -il yuque
ls -d ~/Library/Application\ Support/yuque-desktop
- No output from
pgrepmeans Yuque is not running; a listed process means it is still open, so quit it first. ls -dprinting the path means the folder is still on disk, expected if you left that review row unticked; "No such file or directory" means it is gone.
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 yuque cask's zap list is ~/Library/Application Support/yuque-desktop, the preferences file and the saved window state. If you leave the yuque-desktop row unticked, Mole drops --zap. Running brew uninstall --cask --zap yuque yourself removes that folder whatever you ticked in Mole. To keep it, remove only the app:
brew uninstall --cask yuque
Account
Uninstalling Yuque does not delete documents in your account or change a team plan; both are managed on yuque.com.
What Mole lists
For Yuque, Mole lists ~/Library/Application Support/yuque-desktop for review without selecting it; this exact path is checked for Yuque because its name matches neither the display name nor the bundle id. The Chromium cache folders inside it appear as their own rows and are selected by default. Mole does not treat other folders with similar names as Yuque's.
What this test covered
On September 20, 2026, the official package was copied into Applications, opened, and removed with a Mole 1.15 Preview (build 280) with Full Disk Access, with every review row ticked. That run did not list yuque-desktop, which stayed at 10.7 MB, about 10.5 MB of it Chromium cache; the exact row was added to Mole after this test. Signing in, syncing documents and the Homebrew cask were not tested.
