How to Uninstall JDownloader

Posted: February 26, 2021

JDownloader is a download management utility that should allow users to enjoy faster download speeds when downloading files from various file hosting and sharing sites. In addition to this, the application is supposed to offer support for split downloads, pausable downloads and other quality of life features. Download managers used to be really popular over a decade ago, but nowadays they are somewhat obsolete. If you think you do not need to use JDownloader any longer, then you might be interested in learning how to remove it properly. The instructions below can guide you through the removal process, and help you get it done in no time:

Uninstalling JDownloader on Windows

Windows users can handle the removal of JDownloader by opening the Start Menu, and going to applications -> applications and Features to find a list of all software installed on their computer. Find 'JDownloader' in the list and then select it to click the 'Uninstall' button. This will trigger JDownloader's uninstaller – simply follow the steps on the screen to complete the task.

Uninstalling JDownloader on macOS

macOS users will have an easier time than Windows users. They simply need to head to Finder -> Applications and drag JDownloader's icon to the trash bin. To complete the removal, empty the Trash Bin. You might want to check if the following files or directories exist and delete them:
