How to Completely Uninstall LastPass on Mac
To remove LastPass, quit the app and drag it to the Trash. Since the app holds a local encrypted copy of your cloud vault, you can safely remove it without losing your primary account data.

What LastPass leaves behind
Specific to LastPass
Dragging the app to the Trash does not remove associated data folders. A directory at ~/Library/Application Support/LastPass remains, containing app settings and a cached encrypted vault typically sized between 100 MB – 1 GB. These files stay on your Mac until deleted separately via the hidden Library folder.
- Account and sync
- Your vault is stored in your LastPass account online; the Mac only holds a local encrypted copy.
Preparing to uninstall LastPass
Ensure you have alternative access to your security data before removal. Because the app only mirrors your online account, verify your credentials elsewhere first. You should also handle browser integrations independently since removing the desktop application does not affect them.
