Removing Tor Browser from your system is simple:

On Windows:

  • Locate your Tor Browser folder or application. The default location is the Desktop.
  • Delete the Tor Browser folder or application.
  • Empty your Trash.

On macOS:

  • Locate your Tor Browser application. The default location is the Applications folder.
  • Move the Tor Browser application to Trash.
  • Go to your ~/Library/Application Support/ folder.
  • Note the Library folder is hidden on newer versions of macOS. To navigate to this folder in Finder, select "Go to Folder..." in the "Go" menu.

Go to folder menu option

  • Then type ~/Library/Application Support/ in the window and click Go.

Go to folder window

  • Locate the TorBrowser-Data folder and move it to Trash.
  • Empty your Trash.

Note that if you did not install Tor Browser in the default location (the Applications folder), then the TorBrowser-Data folder is not located in the ~/Library/Application Support/ folder, but in the same folder where you installed Tor Browser.

On Linux:

  • Locate your Tor Browser folder. On Linux, there is no default location, however the folder will be named "tor-browser".
  • Launch a terminal window in the Tor Browser folder and run this command to unregister Tor Browser as a desktop application: ./start-tor-browser.desktop --unregister-app
  • Delete the Tor Browser folder.
  • Empty your Trash.

Note that your operating system's standard "Uninstall" utility is not used.
