How To Uninstall Duplicate Detective
Duplicate Detective is a utilities app for macOS that is developed by FIPLAB Ltd.
Generally speaking, uninstalling any app on macOS is pretty easy. You might want to remove an app you no longer use to just free up disk space.
Today I'll show you 3 very easy ways to uninstall and completely remove Duplicate Detective from your Mac, so let's get straight to it!
The best way to uninstall Duplicate Detective is with iBoostUp's Uninstall tool (free download)
1. The standard and easiest way to uninstall Duplicate Detective:
First, we need to make sure the app isn't running, so lets open Force Quit (from the Apple menu on the top left of your screen) and terminate the app if you see it running:
- Now, open your Applications folder.
- Right-click on "Duplicate Detective".
- Click on "Move to Bin" (or "Move to Trash" on older versions of macOS)
2. How to remove Duplicate Detective using the Terminal:
- Open the macOS Terminal from Applications > Utilities.
- Type killall "Duplicate Detective", hit ENTER
- Type rm -rf "/Applications/Duplicate Detective.app", then hit ENTER.
- If that fails, try typing sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Duplicate Detective.app"
- Now type rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.fiplab.duplicatedetective, hit ENTER.

- Click "App Uninstaller".
- Click "Select Application", then select "Duplicate Detective" from the list and click "Uninstall".
- Enter your password if prompted, you may choose to skip this by clicking cancel — note that skipping this prompt will leave some files behind that you can remove manually, these will be shown as 'skipped' on the results screen.
