# Completely Uninstalling 1Password

If something is going wrong and you want to start with a fresh installation, or you are selling your Mac, you may need to completely uninstall 1Password and all its support files.

## 1Password Components

1Password consists of several pieces:

- The 1Password application itself
- Browser extensions
- 1Password Scripting Addition required for the browser extensions
- Application support files
- 1Password data file that keeps your data
- Keychain backups
- Application preferences file automatically created by Mac OS X

The following steps detail how to remove each of these items.

## Removing the Browser Extensions

To remove all the browser extensions:

- Run the main 1Password application and click 1Password > Preferences > Browsers
- Uncheck the Enable browser extensions option

## Removing Scripting Addition

To remove scripting additions:

Move the Library > ScriptingAdditions > 1Password Addition.osax to the Trash.

## Removing the 1Password Application

Use Finder to move 1Password.app from your Applications folder to the Trash.

## Removing Application Support Files

Move the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder to the Trash.

## Removing the Keychain

1Password’s data file is stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and was therefore likely deleted in the previous step. However, if you stored the file elsewhere on your hard drive, you can search for 1Password.agilekeychain and delete that file.

IMPORTANT: This file contains all the information you added to 1Password and it will be lost if you delete this file.

## Removing Keychain Backups

1Password’s data file backups are stored in the Library > Application Support > 1Password folder by default and were therefore already removed when you deleted that folder. If you migrated from an older version of 1Password, you can also check for and delete the Library > Keychains > backup folder.

## Removing Application Preferences

Move the Library > Preferences > ws.agile.1Password.plist file to the Trash.

## Removing 1PasswordAgent LaunchAgent

Move the Library > LaunchAgents > ws.agile.1PasswordAgent.plist file to the Trash and then restart your Mac.
