What Deezer leaves behind

Specific to Deezer

Dragging the app to the Trash does not remove the support folders containing your settings, cache, and offline tracks. These files occupy between 500 MB – 10 GB of space and remain on your disk until deleted separately. Because offline downloads are encrypted, these files cannot be reused outside the app.

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.

Preparing to remove Deezer

Before deletion, ensure you have handled all local content since downloaded tracks exist only on this Mac. You should sign out to decouple your session from the device. Since the Library folder is hidden, use Finder > Go > Go to Folder to access the remaining data at ~/Library/Application Support/Deezer.

Frequently asked questions

Not all of them. Folders marked “Back up first: your data” hold your own Deezer data: back them up before removing them.
Will my playlists disappear if I delete the app?
No, because your playlists and favourites are stored in your account rather than locally.
Can I move my downloaded songs to another computer?
No, downloaded tracks stay on this Mac only and must be redownloaded upon a new installation.
