What is Citrix Receiver?
It’s the local component of the Citrix suite of tools that allows you to run virtual desktops on your computer. With Citrix Receiver you can get remote desktop access to a certain server. It’s a useful way of running, say, Windows, without actually installing Windows, using Boot Camp or virtualization tools like Parallels Desktop and VMWare fusion.
Everything you do in Citrix Desktop is done on a server and so no files you create or add are saved on your Mac. This means you can log into your Citrix Workspace from any computer and use the same applications and files.

How to uninstall Citrix Receiver (or Citrix Workspace) from your Mac
- Navigate to your Downloads folder and locate the installer package you downloaded when you first installed Citrix Receiver. If you no longer have it, you can download it again from the Citrix website.
- Double-click the package to extract it and mount the dmg file.
- Open the disk image and look for the uninstaller file. Double-click it to launch it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- When you’re done, reboot your Mac.
In addition to running the uninstaller, Citrix advises that you may also need to manually remove some files. Here’s how to do that.
- Go to your Applications folder and check if Citrix Receiver.app is still there. If so, drag it to the Trash.
- In the Finder, click on the Go menu and choose Go to Folder.
- Type /Library in the box.
- Look for the following files and drag them to the Trash
- Go back to the Go menu and this time, type
/Users/Shared
in the box. Find the/Citrix/Receiver
Integration folder and drag it to the Trash. - Now, navigate to /Library from the Go menu and locate the following files, then drag them to the Trash.
- Go to /Applications and drag any applications you added previously in Citrix Receiver to the Trash.
- Finally, go to /private/var/db/recipients and drag these two files to the Trash:
- Empty the Trash.

You’ll notice from the list above that some of the files you need to remove manually are Launch Agents. These are files that launch when you start up your Mac and enable some of the functions of the application. Lots of apps and services install launch agents and they can sometimes cause problems on your Mac or just clutter your startup drive. There may as well be leftover launch agents of the applications you have previously installed and then removed. Citrix Receiver also has launch agents that may be left on your Mac even after you delete the tool. CleanMyMac has a special tool for identifying and removing launch agents.
