Several weeks ago I made the decision to remove Grammarly from my system. I thought I was very thorough! I removed the app from my system and removed the extension from all my browsers. Somehow, it's still hanging around on the System Settings table for "Login Items & Extensions". I've turned it off for now, but I would feel better if it was gone for good.

I've checked the usual spots:

/Root Drive/Library/LaunchAgents is clear of Grammarly /Root Drive/Library/LaunchDaemons is clear A search in Finder only found one instance of "Gramm" showing up, buried in "Root Drive/Users/[My User Name]/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.chronod/chronod/remoteArchives/9FA76407-9FBF-434F-81CC-B28224F8DCC8

Any other input or suggestions would be much appreciated - I'd like to try anything before formatting and reinstalling the OS just to address this one small issue.

Oh, here's some info on my system: 2022 13-inch MacBook Pro M2, running macOS Sequoia Beta version 15.1 (24B5024e)

Found this on the web:

In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Go to Folder.

You now need to navigate to several different locations, look for files with Grammarly in their name, and drag them to the Trash. Here are the locations you need to check:

~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Caches/
~/Library/Saved Application State/

Note that ~ means your user folder.

If you also have the browser extension:

Open Safari, then click the Safari menu and select Settings.
Switch to the Extensions tab.
Select Grammarly for Safari and click the Uninstall button.
Confirm to remove it.
