What Tresorit leaves behind

Specific to Tresorit

Dragging the app to the Trash does not delete your documents or the support folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/Tresorit. Because it encrypts files before upload, the app stores sync states and session keys separately from your cloud account. These remaining system files typically occupy 500 MB – 5 GB. You must remove these manually via Finder > Go > Go to Folder to complete the cleanup.

License: Tresorit plans are tied to your account and are not cancelled by deleting the app.
Account and sync: Files are stored encrypted in your Tresorit account.

Preparing to uninstall Tresorit

Ensure all pending changes are uploaded to your account before starting. Since the app manages encryption and syncing, any unsynced local edits will not reach the cloud if deleted prematurely. Note that since plans are tied to your account, removing the software does not cancel your subscription.
