So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start with the manual ways first.

Manual Ways to Uninstall BlueStacks from Mac

Note: Deleting BlueStacks from Windows is easy as a special BlueStacks uninstaller is available for it. But, for Mac, it isn’t that simple to delete BlueStacks from Mac; you need to follow certain steps.

  1. Quit BlueStacks App
  2. For this, press Esc+Option+Command keys, select BlueStacks App and click Force Quit.

Note: This keyboard shortcut does not work for hidden processes.

Alternatively, you can launch Activity Monitor > click All Processes > select the processes linked with BlueStacks > Quit Process > click Quit in the pop-up dialog box. If this doesn’t work, try Force Quitting the app.

2. Deleting BlueStacks App from Trash

To use this step, make sure you are logged in using an administrator account. Once done, follow the steps below:

  1. Launch Finder > click Applications folder
  2. Look for BlueStacks App Player > select it and drag to the Trash. Alternatively, choose BlueStacks App Player > right-click Move to Trash.

Note: If the application is installed from the App Store, simply head to Launchpad, look for the application to delete, select and hold the Option Key > click “X” > Delete in the confirmation dialog.

3. Remove all corresponding BlueStacks Files from Finder

Although BlueStacks is moved to Trash, there are chances that some of its logs, cache files, and other related files might be on the disk. To thoroughly delete them so that BlueStacks App is uninstalled properly, follow the steps below:

1. Open Spotlight and look for BlueStacks files in the Preferences folder. If this is complicated, open Finder > Go > Go to Folder.
