Uninstall YesPlayMusic on Mac
Save any local playlist or player settings you intend to reuse before uninstalling YesPlayMusic. Your NetEase Music account is separate. The September 19, 2026 record covers the app copied from the official package.
Quit and remove the app
Quit playback and the Electron helpers, then move YesPlayMusic.app to Trash. Do not delete downloaded music or your NetEase account as part of removing this client. The official page has more product information.
Review the app’s data
After quitting, copy ~/Library/Application Support/YesPlayMusic to a separate backup if you want to retain local player settings or playlists. Check the copy before removing the original. In Finder, press Shift + Command + G to open each location or its parent, then move only the unwanted YesPlayMusic item to the Trash:
~/Library/Application Support/YesPlayMusic~/Library/Preferences/com.electron.yesplaymusic.plist~/Library/Saved Application State/com.electron.yesplaymusic.savedState
Skip missing items.
If you installed it with Homebrew
The Homebrew cask has its own --zap list. brew uninstall --cask yesplaymusic removes the cask without that list; brew uninstall --cask --zap yesplaymusic also acts on its listed data without consulting Mole’s checkboxes. Zap includes that support folder, which can contain settings. Mole also suppresses zap if its list reaches unchecked data, another app’s shared data, or a scope it cannot verify; it still removes the selected remnants.
brew uninstall --cask yesplaymusic
Check the result
These commands inspect the running process and one relevant location. They do not remove anything:
pgrep -il "YesPlayMusic"
ls -ld "$HOME/Library/Application Support/YesPlayMusic"
No pgrep match means no process with that name is running; a match needs identification before quitting anything. A listed path still exists, while an ls “No such file” error means only that exact path is absent. A permission error is inconclusive.
What Mole lists
With Remove data and settings with apps off, Mole lists the display-name Application Support folder for review, unchecked. With it on, the eligible unshared support row can be preselected; uncheck it to keep your player state. Exact bundle-ID preferences can be selected by default. Other NetEase clients are not included.
What this test covered
The September 19, 2026 official-package test of YesPlayMusic 0.4.10 removed its Application Support data and grouped eight helpers into one Status row. It did not sign in to or delete a NetEase account.
