Can I delete Deezer from my Mac?

Yes, you can delete it

Yes, you can delete Deezer from your Mac, but doing so costs you the downloaded tracks stored locally — they cannot be reused anywhere else. Your playlists and favourites stay safe in your Deezer account, so nothing you curated online disappears. The app's data folder, which holds offline tracks, cache and settings, contains your own data and stays on the Mac until you remove it separately.

What you lose and what you keep if you delete Deezer

Specific to Deezer

Anything kept in your account — playlists and favourites — remains available and returns when you sign in again. What you lose is the local content: downloaded tracks live only on this Mac and must be downloaded again on a new install. Because offline downloads are encrypted files that play only inside the app, the data folder holds nothing you can reuse elsewhere, so its contents have no value once the app is gone. Expect that folder to occupy roughly 500 MB – 10 GB, space you reclaim only by removing it, not by deleting the app itself.

Where your Deezer data lives

These folders hold your own Deezer data. Deleting the app leaves them in place; removing them is what actually deletes it.

Account and sync
Playlists and favourites live in your Deezer account; downloaded tracks stay on this Mac only and must be downloaded again on a new install.

What to do before deleting Deezer

Remove your downloaded tracks from inside the app first, so the encrypted files are cleared through the app that owns them. Sign out of Deezer before removing the app, which detaches your account cleanly from this Mac. Quit the app before touching any of its files. Remember that deleting the app does not delete its data folder or your own documents; those stay until removed separately, and items in the Trash can be restored until you empty it.

Frequently asked questions

Will deleting Deezer delete my files?
No. Removing the app doesn't touch documents you saved in other folders. Only the app and, if you remove them, its own support files are deleted.
Do my playlists disappear if I delete the app?
No. Playlists and favourites live in your account, not on this Mac, so they return when you sign in again.
Can I keep the downloaded tracks after deleting the app?
No. They are encrypted files that play only inside the app, so they are useless once it is gone and must be downloaded again later.
