Deleting app data on a Mac is crucial for completely ridding your Mac of an app’s traces. To do this, go to Finder, then navigate to the menu bar and select Go > Go to Folder. Copy and paste the folders below into the text box and delete any files with Roblox in the file name:
- ~/Library/Caches
- ~/Library/Preferences/
- ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
