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

What remains after removing TickTick

Specific to TickTick

Dragging the app to the Trash leaves behind a local cache of tasks and attachments located in Application Support. These files typically occupy 100 MB – 1 GB of space. Because the app stores task data in your account rather than local files, these remaining folders are simply mirrors of your cloud data.

License
TickTick Premium is a subscription tied to your TickTick account or Apple Account and is not cancelled by deleting the app.
Account and sync
Tasks are stored in your TickTick account; the Mac keeps a local cache.

Preparing to uninstall TickTick

Ensure all offline changes have uploaded by letting the app sync one last time. Since a Premium subscription is tied to your account or Apple Account, deleting the software will not cancel your paid plan. You must manage your subscription separately to stop future billing.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Items marked “Yes, once the app is gone” only matter while TickTick is installed, so remove them after the app.
Will deleting the app cancel my Premium subscription?
No, because the license is linked to your account, not the installed software.
What happens to the cached data if I sign in again later?
The app rebuilds the local cache of your tasks and attachments upon signing in.
