How to uninstall Citrix Receiver (or Citrix Workspace) from your Mac

1. Navigate to your Downloads folder and locate the installer package you downloaded when you first installed Citrix Receiver. If you no longer have it, you can download it again from the Citrix website.
2. Double-click the package to extract it and mount the dmg file.
3. Open the disk image and look for the uninstaller file. Double-click it to launch it.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. When you’re done, reboot your Mac.

In addition to running the uninstaller, Citrix advises that you may also need to manually remove some files. Here’s how to do that.

1. Go to your Applications folder and check if Citrix Receiver.app is still there. If so, drag it to the Trash.
2. In the Finder, click on the Go menu and choose Go to Folder.
3. Type /Library in the box.
4. Look for the following files and drag them to the Trash

/Internet plug-ins/CitrixICAClientPlugIn.plugin

/LaunchAgents/com.citrix.AuthManager_Mac.plist

/LaunchAgents/com.citrix.ServiceRecords.plist

You’ll notice from the list above that some of the files you need to remove manually are Launch Agents. These are files that launch when you start up your Mac and enable some of the functions of the application. Lots of apps and services install launch agents and they can sometimes cause problems on your Mac or just clutter your startup drive. There may as well be leftover launch agents of the applications you have previously installed and then removed. Citrix Receiver also has launch agents that may be left on your Mac even after you delete the tool. CleanMyMac has a special tool for identifying and removing launch agents.



5. Go back to the Go menu and this time, type /Users/Shared in the box. Find the /Citrix/Receiver Integration folder and drag it to the Trash.
6. Now, navigate to /Library from the Go menu and locate the following files, then drag them to the Trash.

/Internet plug-ins/CitrixICAClientPlugIn.plugin

/Application Support/Citrix Receiver

9. Empty the Trash.

We’re not done yet. One of Citrix’s most important features is Follow Me, a cloud data tool that allows you to log in on different devices and use the same workspace, with all your files intact as you left them last time you logged in. When you uninstall Citrix Receiver, you may also have to manually uninstall Follow Me data on your Mac.

How to remove Follow Me data from your Mac

1. In the Go menu in the Finder, type /Applications/Citrix/FollowMeData to access the hidden folder. Drag the files inside it to the Trash.
2. Next, drag these installation information files to the Trash.

4. Finally, navigate to /private/var/db/receipts and get rid of these two files

com.citrix.ShareFile.installer.bom

5. Empty the Trash.

Once you’ve done all of that, you should have removed all the files associated with Citrix Receiver. That’s quite a few steps.
