On Windows (PC)

   • Scroll to CapCut, click the three dots (…), then choose Uninstall.

   • Confirm the uninstallation.

On macOS

1. Open Finder → Applications.

2. Find CapCut.app.

3. Drag it to the Trash, or right-click → Move to Trash.

4. Empty the Trash to completely remove it.

(Optional: You can also remove leftover files from ~/Library/Application Support/CapCut and ~/Library/Caches/CapCut if you want a clean uninstall.)

On iPhone (iOS)

1. Find the CapCut app on your Home Screen.

2. Tap and hold until a menu appears.

3. Select Remove App → Delete App → Confirm.

On Android

1. Open your device’s Settings.

2. Go to Apps (or Apps & Notifications).

3. Find CapCut and tap it.

4. Select Uninstall, then confirm.

Here are the extra steps to remove leftover files & cache after uninstalling CapCut so it’s completely gone from your system:

Windows (PC)

After uninstalling CapCut, some files may still remain.

1. Delete leftover program folders

   • Open File Explorer.

   • Go to:

     • C:\Program Files

     • C:\Program Files (x86)

     • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local

     • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming

   • Look for CapCut or Bytedance folders and delete them.

   (Tip: Press Win + R, type %appdata%, hit Enter → that opens the Roaming folder.)

2. Clear temporary files

   • Press Win + R, type %temp%, and hit Enter.

   • Select all files → Delete. (This removes junk, including possible CapCut temp files.)

3. Registry cleanup (optional, advanced)

   • Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.

   • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software.

   • Delete any CapCut or Bytedance entries.
     (Be careful—editing registry incorrectly can affect your system. You can skip this step if unsure.)

macOS

CapCut leaves behind cache and support files.

1. In Finder, click Go > Go to Folder… (or press Cmd + Shift + G).

2. Check and delete these folders if they exist:

   • ~/Library/Application Support/CapCut

   • ~/Library/Caches/CapCut

   • ~/Library/Preferences/com.bytedance.capcut.plist

   • ~/Library/Logs/CapCut

3. Empty the Trash.

(Optional: Use a cleanup tool like AppCleaner to remove CapCut and its leftovers in one go.)

iPhone (iOS)

When you delete an app, iOS usually removes its data. But to ensure all cache is gone:

1. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

2. Scroll and check if CapCut still appears.

   • If it does → Tap it → Delete App.

3. Restart your iPhone.

Android

CapCut cache/data can remain even after uninstall.

1. Before uninstalling (or if you reinstall):

   • Go to Settings > Apps > CapCut.

   • Tap Storage → Clear Cache and Clear Data.

   • Then uninstall.

2. After uninstall:

   • Use a file manager to check for leftover folders in:

     • Internal Storage/Android/data/com.lemon.lvoverseas

     • Internal Storage/Android/obb/com.lemon.lvoverseas

   • Delete them manually.

Done! Now CapCut should be completely wiped out from your system.
