Remove Clipboard History from your Mac

  1. Quit Clipboard History.Open the Clipboard History menu in the macOS menu bar and choose Quit Clipboard History.
  2. Move the application to the Trash.Open your Applications folder in Finder, then drag Clipboard History to the Trash.
  3. Optionally remove your stored history.If you want a complete data removal, delete the Clipboard History folder from your user Library’s Application Support folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Clipboard History/

The third step is optional. Leaving the folder in place keeps your local history available if you reinstall later. Deleting it removes the database from your Mac.

How to open the hidden Library folder

  1. Open Finder.
  2. Choose Go → Go to Folder… from the menu bar.
  3. Paste ~/Library/Application Support/Clipboard History/ and press Return.
  4. Move the Clipboard History folder to the Trash.

Empty the Trash only when you are sure you no longer need the application or its stored history.

Clear history without uninstalling

You do not need to remove the app just to erase old clips. Open Clipboard History → Settings → Storage and choose Clear all history.

You can also pause recording temporarily from the menu bar. It remains paused across app restarts until you resume it.

Optional: remove Accessibility permission

After deleting the app, you can review its old permission entry in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. If Clipboard History is still listed, select it and remove or disable the entry.

Accessibility permission lets the app paste a selected clip into another application. Your copied data remains stored locally; read the privacy overview for details.
