In short
- If you use Pro, click Deactivate This Mac in Settings › Licence first, and turn off Open at login.
- Quit MoreRoom and drag it from Applications to the Trash. Then delete its few files: ~/Library/Application Support/MoreRoom, its preferences (app.moreroom.mac) and ~/Library/Group Containers/6DP89DUYBU.app.moreroom.shared.
- To only reset MoreRoom, delete those files but keep the app: it starts again with the welcome screen. History of past removals is lost, but items stay in the Trash.
How to uninstall MoreRoom completely
- Prepare In MoreRoom › Settings…, click Licence › Deactivate This Mac if you use Pro, and turn off Open at login, in the menu bar in the General tab. Wake up any project you hibernated.
- Quit and remove the app Quit MoreRoom (⌘Q). In Finder, drag MoreRoom from Applications to the Trash.

Before you start

- Open at login: turn off Open at login, in the menu bar in Settings › General.

.moreroom-hibernation.jsonfile is harmless, and you can delete it.

Resetting forgets your History: past removals can no longer be restored from MoreRoom, but anything still in the Trash can be put back with Finder’s Put Back.
Reinstall later
Download MoreRoom again at any time. If you used Pro, activate your key again — a Mac you deactivated is free to be activated again.
