  1. Remove Leftover Files:
  • Press Windows + R, type %APPDATA%, and delete the KatalonStudio folder (if present).

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KatalonStudio
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KatalonStudio
  • Delete these entries (backup the registry first).

macOS

sudo apt remove katalonstudio

General Notes

This ensures a complete removal of Katalon Studio and associated files
