Uninstall Rosetta Stone Manually

First, we want to remind you that any application is a complex software tool. It consists of an executable file (.app) that you use to launch the program, and service files, which are used by an application while it operates. The service files are usually stored in the Library folder, and in the user’s Library folder on your hard drive. Therefore, dragging and dropping the Rosetta Stone software’s icon to the Trash will not completely remove the program from your Mac. To delete the Rosetta Stone Mac app using the manual uninstallation method, take the following steps:

1. Quit Rosetta Stone.
2. Open the Applications folder → select the Rosetta Stone.app file → right-click and choose Move to Trash. 

3. Open Finder → Macintosh → Library. Find and delete all useless service files related to Rosetta Stone in the Library folder. For this, check the following subfolders:

   • Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone 
   • Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone Backups
   • Library/Application Support/RosettaStoneDaemon
   • Library/LaunchAgents/com.rosettastone.rosettastonedaemon.plist

4. To get access to the user’s Library folder, in the Finder’s menu bar, click Go → Go to Folder → in the window that appears, type ~/Library and click Go. Within the user’s Library folder, find and remove the remaining files related to Rosetta Stone in the next directories:

   • ~/Library/Caches/com.rosettastone.languagetraining
