Completely Uninstalling 1Password
If something is going wrong and you want to start with a fresh installation, or you are selling your Mac, you may need to completely uninstall 1Password and all its support files.
Using 1Password Uninstaller
The easiest way is to use the uninstaller application.
You can download it here: Download 1Password Uninstaller
Simply click the Uninstall 1Password button and all 1Password files will be deleted. You will see Complete message at the end:
By default the application preferences and your data file will not be removed. You can send them to Trash by selecting the checkboxes. Please note that if you delete these files by mistake, you can still recover them from the Trash.
Uninstalling 1Password Manually
You can also remove 1Password manually. 1Password consists of several pieces:
- The 1Password application itself
- Browser extensions
- 1Password Scripting Addition required for the browser extensions
- Application support files
- 1Password data file that keeps your data
- Data file backups
- Application preferences file automatically created by Mac OS X
The following steps detail how to remove each of these items.
Removing the Browser Extensions
To remove all the browser extensions:
- Run the main 1Password application and click 1Password > Preferences > Browsers
- Uncheck the Enable browser extensions option
Removing Scripting Addition
To remove scripting additions:
Move the Library > ScriptingAdditions > 1Password Addition.osax to the Trash.
Removing the 1Password Application
Use Finder to move 1Password.app from your Applications folder to the Trash.
Removing Application Support Files
Move the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder to the Trash.
Removing the Keychain
1Password’s data file is stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and was therefore likely deleted in the previous step. However, if you stored the file elsewhere on your hard drive, you can search for 1Password.agilekeychain and delete that file.
IMPORTANT: This file contains all the information you added to 1Password and it will be lost if you delete this file.
Removing Data File Backups
1Password’s data file backups are stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and were therefore already removed when you deleted that folder. If you migrated from an older version of 1Password, you can also check for and delete the Library > Keychains > backup folder.
Removing Application Preferences
Move the Library > Preferences > ws.agile.1Password.plist file to the Trash.
Removing 1PasswordAgent LaunchAgent
Move the Library > LaunchAgents > ws.agile.1PasswordAgent.plist file to the Trash and then restart your Mac.
