Program to find duplicate files

The recent Logitech certificate outage made a lot of people reinstall Logi Options+ just to get their mouse working again. Others took it as a sign to move to another mouse solution instead. Either way, you need to reinstall or uninstall Logi Options+ permanently.

Here you’ll find two reliable ways to completely uninstall Logi Options+ from your Mac – not just the main app, but all its background files, agents, and leftovers. As a bonus, you’ll find workarounds for certificate issues.

Before we start

If you don’t have time to explore the guide, check out the quickest method to uninstall Logi Options+, Logitech G Hub, and any app you want to delete. It stands for using a special tool, App Cleaner & Uninstaller, which automatically detects all support files of any app and uninstalls apps in less than a minute.

What is Logi Options+ and should I uninstall it from my Mac?

Logi Options+ is software that allows you to customize the functions of Logitech keyboards and mice. It provides the ability to assign special commands to buttons, create macros, change key functions, and even configure the behavior of some devices depending on the use of certain programs.

When it works, it’s great. When it breaks, it can turn your Mac into a paperweight with a cursor. Which is usually when you end up doing something about it – reinstalling the driver or removing it altogether. You also might be here because:

  • Logitech’s developer certificate expired, causing the app and background services to stop working or fail to launch.
  • The fixed version won’t download – it just spins forever, leaving users stuck with a broken setup.
  • You switched to Better Mouse, SteerMouse, or another driver that does the same job with less drama.
  • You replaced your Logitech gear (e.g., with Razer Viper) and no longer need Logitech’s software at all.
  • Logi Options+ keeps running background agents, eating CPU or interfering with macOS input, even when you’re not using it.
  • Logitech devices feel poorly integrated on macOS, which can be frustrating for users who expect premium performance for the price they pay.

Before you uninstall: here are quick fixes for the Logitech outage

If you’re not ready to delete Logi Options+ just yet, these workarounds, tested among Redditors, have helped many users survive the certificate disaster:

  1. Downgrade to an older version
    Older builds still use a valid certificate and can bring your mouse back to life.
  2. Use the firewall + date trick
    • Downgrade your Mac’s date at least to January 5, 2026
    • Block these with a firewall (FireWally works and it’s free):
      • Logitech G Hub
      • G Hub Updater
      • Logitech G Hub Agent
    • Restore the correct date & time
    This stops Logitech’s servers from killing the driver again.
  3. Use Better Mouse or SteerMouse temporarily
    While waiting for a reliable version, it can replace most of Logi Options+ features and keep your mouse usable while Logitech sorts itself out.

Note:

Uninstalling Logi Options+ may result in loss of settings and return of devices to standard functionality. But if you don’t use any settings or feel you don’t need the program, then uninstalling Logi Options+ will not affect the basic operation of your Logitech devices. What’s more, getting rid of unnecessary programs and freeing up disk space helps optimize your Mac and keep it fast for years of use.

How to manually uninstall Logi Options+ on a Mac

If you prefer doing things the hands-on way, manual removal is absolutely possible – just don’t fall into the classic macOS trap of dragging the app to Trash and calling it a day. Logi Options+ installs background agents, launch items, caches, logs, and helper components that stick around long after the main app is gone.

Leftovers like these don’t just waste disk space. Over time, they can slow down your Mac, cause conflicts with other mouse drivers, or even keep broken Logitech services running in the background. So if you go manual, go all the way.

Below is a step-by-step guide to fully uninstall Logi Options+ along with its hidden files.

Step 1. Quit Logi Options+ completely

Before deleting anything, make sure nothing related to Logitech is running.

  1. Quit Logi Options+ from the menu bar or Dock (if it’s active).
  2. Open Activity Monitor.
  3. In the search bar, type 
    Logi

    Copy

    .
  4. Select any related processes → click the Stop ✕ button.
    5. Logi Options+ processes in Activity Monitor

Step 2. Delete the main application

  1. Open Finder → Applications.
  2. Locate Logi Options+.app.
  3. Right-click → Move to Trash.
    4. Logi Options+ in Finder

So far, this is the easy part, but you’re only halfway done.

Step 3. Remove Logi Options+ support files from Library

Most Logitech components are inside Library folders, both user-level and system-wide.

  1. In Finder’s top menu, click Go → Go to Folder.
  2. Type 
    ~/Library

    Copy

    → press Return.
  3. In the search bar, hunt down for and remove instances containing

    , or 
    com.logitech

    Copy

    . In my case, I found the following directories:

To locate those files faster, use a free tool, Funter, by Nektony. Type the respective Bundle ID to get findings for instant deletion. Better yet, it’ll offer to remove these instances then. Funter showing Logi Options+ files

Step 4. Empty the Trash and restart your Mac

  1. Empty the Trash.
  2. Restart your Mac to unload any remaining services.

This clears cached launch items and finalizes the removal.

How to delete Logi Options+ with a few clicks

If manual cleanup feels like overkill (or you just want certainty), App Cleaner & Uninstaller does the same job automatically without hunting through the Library. It detects every file linked to Logi Options+, including hidden agents, caches, and leftovers from failed installs.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Have App Cleaner & Uninstaller installed and opened.
  2. Find Logi Options+ in the app list.
  3. Click Uninstall.
  4. Confirm removal.
    5. Logitech Group in App Cleaner & Uninstaller

That’s it. No guessing, no missed files.

Note:

If you already dragged Logi Options+ to Trash before, open the Remaining Files section in App Cleaner & Uninstaller. It will show all hidden leftovers so you can remove them easily. Logi Options+ remaining files in App Cleaner & Uninstaller

How to uninstall Logitech G Hub

Logi Options+ isn’t the only Logitech app that installs background services. Logitech G Hub does the same and can be removed quickly using App Cleaner & Uninstaller.

Just select Logitech G Hub in the app list and uninstall it the same way as Logi Options+.

Final click

Uninstalling Logi Options+ is a matter of how much time and patience you want to invest.

  • Manual removal takes about 10-15 minutes. It’s free, gives you full control, and suits users who are okay with digging through Library folders and double-checking system files. The risk? It’s easy to miss a cache, agent, or launch item.
  • Automatic removal with App Cleaner & Uninstaller takes under a minute. It’s built for users who value time, accuracy, and certainty. One click removes the app and every related file – no searching, no leftovers, no second guessing.

The right choice depends on whether you prefer doing things yourself or letting a dedicated tool do a fast, foolproof cleanup.

Frequently asked questions

What about uninstalling the Logitech Control Center?

Logitech Control Center is no longer supported on modern versions of macOS. Logitech has officially moved on to Logi Options+ and Logitech G Hub.

If you somehow still have this app on your Mac, the fastest way to uninstall it is to:

  1. Open App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
  2. Select Logitech Control Center.
  3. Click Uninstall.
  4. Finish the deletion process by confirming.

How to uninstall Logi Options+ with Terminal?

How to completely reset Logi Options+ without uninstalling?

If Logi Options+ is acting up but you don’t want to remove it entirely, a reset can often fix crashes, lag, or broken device detection.

You have two options:

Option 1: Reset with App Cleaner & Uninstaller (easiest)

  1. Open App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
  2. Locate Logi Options+ in the Applications list.
  3. Right-click it → choose Reset Application.
  4. Confirm the reset.

This deletes caches, preferences, and support files while keeping the app installed, essentially returning it to factory settings.

Option 2: Manual reset

Manually delete Logi Options+ files from:

  • ~/Library/Preferences/

    Copy

  • ~/Library/Application Support/

    Copy

  • ~/Library/Caches/

    Copy

After that, restart your Mac and relaunch the app.

This works, but it’s easy to miss files, which is why a reset tool is usually safer.

Which Logitech features stop working after uninstalling Logi Options+?

Removing Logi Options+ disables customization features, not the device itself.

Specifically, you’ll lose access to:

  • Custom button mappings
  • App-specific profiles
  • Macros and gestures
  • Advanced scrolling options (smooth, horizontal, SmartShift)
  • Per-app behavior switching
  • AI Prompt Builder features
  • Firmware-related controls exposed only through the app

If you rely heavily on these features, and Logitech misbehaves like certificate expiration, you can consider switching to alternatives like Better Mouse or SteerMouse, which can replace most core functionality without Logitech’s background services.
