Everything TablePlus keeps on your Mac

4 locations. Tick each one as you remove it; back up anything marked as your data first.

Locations are the standard macOS folders TablePlus uses; some appear only after you use the matching feature.

What TablePlus leaves behind

Specific to TablePlus

Dragging the app to the Trash does not delete your saved connections, query history, or preferences. These remain in the ~/Library folder, which is hidden by default. Only manually removing these directories will fully clear the data from your system. Items in the Trash can be restored until it is emptied.

License: TablePlus has a free tier with limits and a paid license key for full use.

Preparing to remove TablePlus

Before removal, ensure you have backed up all critical information since deleting the app doesn't touch your personal database records. Connection passwords are handled differently than other settings as they reside in the macOS Keychain. You should identify which queries need to be preserved in external files.

Frequently asked questions

Not all of them. Folders marked “Back up first: your data” hold your own TablePlus data: back them up before removing them. Folders marked “Yes, rebuilt automatically” are rebuilt automatically; removing them only makes the next start slower. Folders marked “Yes, settings reset” hold settings, which return to their defaults.

Where are my saved connections stored?

They are located in the Application Support folder under the app's bundle identifier.

How do I access the hidden Library folder to delete remaining data?

Use Finder, select Go in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder.
