What is Roblox and should you uninstall it from Mac?
Roblox is a popular online entertainment platform in which you can create games and play with other gamers in various virtual worlds. Roblox is available for PC, Mac, Android, iOS, Amazon devices, and other operating systems.
Generally, Roblox runs fine on a Mac. However, many users claim that there are various issues that arise on macOS, in addition to poor performance. As a result, you may wish to uninstall Roblox or to reinstall it and fix the issues. Read our guide carefully to learn how to uninstall Roblox from your Mac correctly and completely.
Important notes and the methodologies used to uninstall Roblox from Mac
- Before writing this guide, we checked the Roblox website for its removal guide. In fact, the steps provided there don’t uninstall Roblox completely and leave its remaining files behind on a Mac’s hard drive.
- Dragging and dropping Roblox applications into the Trash will not completely remove them from your Mac. Just as every application creates additional service files on your computer for its proper performance, so does the Roblox app. These files are still stored on your disk even after the executable file is deleted. To completely uninstall any application from Mac, you also have to remove all of its temporary files.
- This article will explain how to remove Roblox entirely with all of its service files.
- We used App Cleaner & Uninstaller from Nektony to find and remove Roblox’ remaining files.
- At Nektony, we have been coding a Mac uninstalling tool for many years now. As a result, we regularly check apps for all service files they create in the system, and we know all about the temporary files applications create on a Mac.

How to manually uninstall Roblox Studio from Mac
The first thing you should do before removing the Roblox app is to quit the app and stop all the processes related to it. You should also remember that when you run the automatic installation of Roblox, it installs two applications on your Mac: Roblox and Roblox Studio. As a first step, ensure that there are no running Roblox processes in the macOS background.
Steps to manually uninstall Roblox from Mac:
- Press the Command+Option+Esc shortcut. This will open the Force Quit Applications window and help you check whether all Roblox processes are closed. If Roblox or Roblox Studio applications are included in the list of launched programs, select them and click the Force Quit button.
- Quit Roblox.
- Open Finder and go to the Applications folder.
- Locate Roblox Studio and move it into the Trash bin. If you have several Roblox applications, you need to remove all of them.
- Open the Library folder. For this, in Finder, go to its menu → click on Go → select Go to Folder.
- In the window that appears, type ~/Library and press Enter (Return).
-
In the next moment, you will get access to the user’s Library folder. By default, this folder is hidden to avoid the accidental deletion of critical system files. Since the Roblox related files are useless without the executable file, you can safely remove them. Check the following directories to find all unneeded service files of Roblox and Roblox Studio applications.
- ~/Library/Caches
- ~/Library/Logs
- ~/Library/Preferences
- ~/Library/Roblox
- ~/Library/Saved Application State
- Once you remove all of Roblox temporary files, don’t forget to empty your Trash bin to completely uninstall Roblox.
Note that some applications might spread their temporary files all over the disk. You should make sure that you completely deleted all of the remaining files of removed applications. If you find this process complicated or tiresome, use App Cleaner & Uninstaller to check your Mac for remaining files or to completely uninstall applications from Mac with just a few clicks.
