What is Lark and should I uninstall it?

Lark is a multi-functional collaboration app that combines several tools such as messenger, video conferencing, meeting scheduler, cloud file storage, and document collaboration tools.
The app is developed by ByteDance, also known for its popular product TikTok.
Lark is generally considered a safe application for macOS, and you don’t have to worry about it. However, you may need to uninstall the app in the following cases:

• If your team has switched to another collaboration tool.
• The app consumes a lot of system resources and it affects the performance of your Mac.
• If you are concerned about privacy issues and do not want your data processed by this company.

If for any of the reasons above or for another reason you need to remove Lark, follow the guide below to do it entirely and correctly.

How to manually delete Lark from Mac

Before you begin the removal process, please note that simply moving programs to the Trash on your Mac does not always remove them completely. There are often extra files that can accumulate over time, taking up a lot of memory and slowing down your computer. Therefore, it is important to remove all files related to Lark. Follow each step of the instructions to completely uninstall Lark from your Mac.

1. Quit Lark.
2. Open Activity Monitor and close any Lark’s associated processes running in the background.
3. Go to the Applications folder and remove Lark from there.



4. While you’re in Finder, press Cmd+Shift+G.
5. In the search panel that appears, type ~/Library and press Enter.



6. Here in the Library folder, locate and delete all Lark-related items. They usually have the following ID com.charliemonroe.Lark. Check the following locations for the app’s service files:

~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Containers
~/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Logs
~/Library/LaunchDaemons
~/Library/LaunchAgents



7. When you remove all Lark support files, empty your Trash and restart your Mac.

It’s important to remember that some programs may store their files in hidden macOS system directories. For example, the following path was found among the files associated with this program:

SSD/~private/var/folders/ws//private/var/folders/ws/6fpx23ks44n_2jfzvlch2csw0000gn/C/com.larksuite.larkApp.helper
