How to manually uninstall LogMeIn Client from Mac

Uninstalling the LogMeIn Client from your Mac can be necessary if you’re looking to clear up system resources or if you no longer require remote access capabilities. Here’s a step-by-step guide to remove the app manually:

  1. Quit Logmein. For this, go to the apps’ menu and select Quit.
  2. Also, check and close LogMeIn processes working in the background. You can use a default Apple application called Activity Monitor for this. Run Activity Monitor → select LogMeIn processes and click to close them.
  3. Go to the Applications folder and remove LogMeIn Client from there.
  4. Find and remove LogMeIn Client’s support files. They are stored in the Library and ~/Library (hidden library) folders. The tilde sign ~ before the folder’s name means a reference to the home directory. By default, this folder is hidden. To open the hidden ~/Library folder, open Finder → in the menu bar click on Go → select Go to Folder. Also, you can call this option by pressing the Command+Shift+G key combination.
  5. In the appeared search field type ~/Library and press Enter.
    6. Go to the Library folder

  6. Here in the Library folder find and remove the app’s associated files:

    • ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.logmein.ignition.savedState
    • ~/Library/Application Support/LogMeIn Client

  7. Also check the non-hidden Library folder and remove the following leftover files from there:

    • /Library/Printers/LogMeIn/LogMeInPrinter.bundle
    • /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.logmein.*
    • /Library/LaunchAgents/com.logmein.
    • /Library/Application Support/LogMeIn/drivers/LogMeInSoundDriver*.kext
    • /System/Library/Extensions/LogMeInSoundDriver*.kext
    • /Library/Application Support/LogMeIn/
  8. As soon as you remove all unneeded remaining files, empty your Trash bin.
Please note!
You may have more or less LogMeIn Client support files left on your disk after its uninstallation. The safer way to find all of them and completely uninstall LogMeIn products is to use App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
