I am unable to completely uninstall the Zoom meeting app from my Mac running macOS Mojave.
I once installed the Zoom meeting app. Then I deleted it from Applications directory. Now, every-time I open a zoom meeting in Google Chrome, the Zoom app gets reinstalled automatically! Terrible...
So I investigated from where and how it has permission to reinstall and I found out they created a hidden folder .zoomus
containing ZoomOpener.app
and there is a ZoomUsPlugIn.plugin
in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
directory.
Question: I have deleted the following 4 files:
zoom.us.app
from/Applications
directory.zoomusInstaller.pkg
from~/Downloads
directoryZoomOpener.app
from hidden.zoomus
in home dirZoomUsPlugIn.plugin
from~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
directory. directory
But it still gets reinstalled. How can I completely uninstall it?
EDIT 2
the support now gave me this script to run: I ran it but it still gets installed again after opening a meeting... this is the worst app i have ever used...
currently i run this script to uninstall, to no success

Consider using AppCleaner to find all the files associated with Zoom meeting app and remove it. See it that works.

I noticed even after clearing out all the files that matched my find
queries.
find all files
$ find . -type f |&grep -iE "zoom|zoom.us"
find all directories
$ find . -type d |&grep -iE "zoom|zoom.us"
You can look at this output to figure out files to delete. This removed most of the Zoom.us cruft:
$ rm -fr ~/Library/Application Support/zoom.us
~/Library/Logs/zoom.us Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ZoomUsPlugIn.plugin
~/.zoomus/
~/Library/Logs/zoom*
~/Library/Caches/us.zoom.*
Finally I noticed that there was a Zoom.us app still running:
$ ps -eaf | grep -i [z]oom
502 42920 1 0 7:49AM ?? 0:00.77 /Users/smingolelli/.zoomus/ZoomOpener.app/Contents/MacOS/ZoomOpener
If I killed this app the behavior stops.

So they hide a folder by starting it with dot, and also use "zoomus" instead of zoom.us. I note this folder is not in the factory proscribed list of directories to delete.

@Shlomo Whew. How about using AppCleaner to uninstall Google Chrome and see if that fixes things? Make sure to backup any critical Chrome data such as bookmarks beforehand.

@Shlomo That's reasonable. If I was in this situation, I'd attempt to contact Zoom support at this point.

Consider using AppCleaner to find all the files associated with Zoom meeting app and remove it. See it that works.

thanks I tried with Appcleaner but it is still there after uninstalling. It is horrible. I dont understand what gives the permission. is it the chrome plugin or is something hidden on my mac?

It's possible that you have Google Chrome extension installed. Try uninstalling More tools → Extensions in Google Chrome.

@Shlomo - I concur about this app - I have it installed as well b/c of some conf. call I had to participate in. They have directions here but nothing that'll shed new light on your issue - support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/…. I'm going to try removing it now to see what happens.
