Otherwise, brew cask uninstall <cask> will only remove the staged files in the Caskroom.

installer :manual Casks that need uninstall

installer :script Casks that need uninstall

pkg Casks that need uninstall

Can’t confirm what the appropriate usage for league-of-legends should be. Downloaded it twice, and on opening it just shows a LoLLauncher in the dock. I’m doing it in a VM and my current network connection sucks, though, so if it’s downloading something I’d take a long time without me knowing (there should at least be some feedback, though).

@caskroom/maintainers I've updated the list in the top post. We should make it a priority to add uninstall stanzas to all Casks with installer and pkg stanzas that need them.

@jawshooah Last time I checked this issue, I’ve edited it (and the casks) to the last remaining ones that are popular and hard to make uninstalls for.

That said, I’d be in favour of fixing them by force: outright remove them and if/when someone misses them and wants to readd, it will need uninstall.

Remaining casks can’t be reliably uninstalled without GUI uninstaller. Closing in favour of #24377 (added the casks there as part of the checklist).
