Uninstall Garmin Express and its files on Mac

Garmin’s Mac instructions remove the app and named support files from your user Library. Garmin warns: “This process may delete the backups from Garmin Express.” If you need those backups, check your backup or export options before continuing. This warning concerns Garmin Express backups; it does not establish that the steps remove all Garmin device data or Garmin Connect data.

  1. Quit Garmin Express from its menu-bar icon. If prompted about keeping it running in the background, confirm that you want to quit.
  2. In Finder, open Applications and drag Garmin Express to the Trash. Provide an administrator name and password if requested.
  3. In Finder, open the Go menu and hold Option to show Library. Open ~/Library/Preferences and move files beginning com.garmin.renu to the Trash.
  4. Open ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin and move the Express folder to the Trash.
  5. Open ~/Library/Caches. If present, move these items to the Trash: com.garmin.renu.client, com.garmin.renu.service.crashreporter, and com.garmin.renu.service.
  6. Empty the Trash. If it will not empty, Garmin advises restarting the Mac and trying again.

Garmin’s support page labels this procedure “Mac OS X.” The Finder menu and paths above describe how to locate the stated items in current macOS; names may differ slightly between macOS versions. Source: Garmin Support: Instructions to Uninstall Garmin Express from a Windows or Mac Computer.

If the Windows uninstall fails

Garmin’s troubleshooting advice is specific: if Windows says a reboot is needed or the uninstall does not work, check for the processes Garmin names, restart, and retry. Do not end unrelated processes.

  1. Open Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
  2. If present, end Windows Update Service and Microsoft Service Process.
  3. Restart the computer and try uninstalling Garmin Express again using the Windows steps above.

Garmin also links to Microsoft’s Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter for compatible computers. The support article does not establish that the tool works with every Windows configuration. If Garmin Express still will not uninstall, Garmin lists trying another computer or consulting a Microsoft Certified Repair Technician as further options.
