Clearing settings[edit]

Try to uninstall Vuze for Mac but cannot get rid of all its traces? This video shows you how to easily and thoroughly uninstall Vuze Bittorrent Client on Mac OS X. Uses way too much background data, while task manager and bittorrent up on the foreground and Bittorrent showing a combined 300kb/s up/download avg on the torrents & TaskManager showed it was actually using an avg of 1000kb/s. There is no way it should be using this amount, and makes one wonder what it's up to. Vuze (formerly Azureus) claims to be the most powerful BitTorrent client on Earth. We're not sure how it ranks on other planets, but it's certainly a serious contender for that title. Vuze is the name that the old Azureus took when it was updated to a more powerful version. It was taken to a further step and they decided to change the name too. Vuze is a popular BitTorrent client with an intuitive and eye-catching interface. Conclusion: Vuze for Mac has been around since 2017, making it one of the longest-established torrent clients. Whilst it’s free to use, closed-source software, you can upgrade to Plus if you’d like to remove the (sometimes annoying) ads.

If you just want to reset your Vuze settings, delete the file 'azureus.config' and 'azureus.config.bak' from your Azureus configuration directory.

A new Reset option was added to Mode options in version 4.4.1.0 for clearing the settings. In the older Vuze clients (before version 4.4.1.0), there was no built-in command to clear the settings, so you would have to do it manually.

One way to clear the settings manually:

1. For Windows:
   1. close Vuze
   2. go to Start > Run
   3. type cmd /k DEL '%appdata%AzureusAzureus.config*' and hit Enter
   4. restart Vuze
2. For Mac:
   1. close Vuze
   2. go to ~/Library/Application Support
   3. delete the folder in that directory named Vuze (or whatever your installation of Vuze is called)
   4. restart Vuze

Preserving settings related to active downloads[edit]

If you want to re-install Vuze and would like to keep your active downloads and .torrents, make sure that they you do not delete them along the other settings. Preseve the file 'downloads.config' and the directory 'active' in your configuration directory.

Uninstall Azureus[edit]

Please note that uninstalling Azureus does not clear the settings. You have to do that separately.

Windows[edit]

Uninstall & delete program itself:

• Uninstall Azureus through Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs (or 'Programs and Features' in Vista/Windows7).
• Delete the folder %programfiles%Azureus (usually c:Program FilesAzureus) or %programfiles%Vuze (usually c:Program FilesVuze) in newer Vuze installations

If you want to also delete all settings:

• Delete %appdata%Azureus folder with all its contents. That is usually

• C:Documents and Settings<username>Application DataAzureus in Windows XP
• C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingAzureus in Vista and Windows 7

Unattended uninstall[edit]

Vuze/Azureus uses install4j installer, so its commandline options should work.

• There is the switch '-q' for quiet/unattended uninstall.

Running the uninstaller with that option from commandline removes Vuze silently:

C:Program FilesVuzeuninstall.exe -q

• Note: If you are using Vista or Windows 7, make sure that the command prompt has admin rights, or you will get the UAC prompt requiring user interaction.

Linux[edit]

Depending on your distribution/package system you can either uninstall Azureus via the package manager and remove the ~/.azureus configuration directory or search (with locate, find or whereis) for the directories that contain azureus.config and Azureus2.jar and delete both directories.

Mac OS X[edit]

• Drag the Azureus icon to the trash.
• Delete the /Users/<username>/library/Application Support/Vuze folder.
