You can uninstall Camtasia on your Mac manually without using any third-party tools. However, ensure that you can find and remove all the service files of Camtasia which have been created during its use. When you just remove an app to Trash, it service files still remain on your disk. Over time, they can eat up a significant disk space on your machine. If you wish to keep your computer clean and help it to work smoothly and quickly, then always remember to get rid of such junk files. For this, carefully follow the steps below:
- Quit Camtasia. You can do it from the Dock panel.
- Go to the Applications folder and remove Camtasia from there.
- Now, it’s time for an important step that most Mac users usually don’t do. You need to delete the application’s support files. By default, apps store their service files in the hidden Library folder. To get to Library, open Finder → click Go in the menu bar → press Option and select Library from the drop-down menu.
- In the Library folder, find and remove all the files related to Camtasia. Note, that Camtasia is designed by the TechSmith company. That’s why most files are named by the company’s name. Check the following locations for them:
- ~Library/Application Support/TechSmith
- ~Library/Caches/com.techsmith.identityprofile.data
- ~Library/Containers/…
- ~Library/Preferences/…
- ~Library/Cookies/…
- ~Library/LaunchAgents/…
