Clean reinstall

I’m reinstalling Sketchup yet again this year.

I thought I had cleaned out all of the associated files - App Support, Preferences, etc - but upon launching the fresh 2023 download, it opened my most recent open file, indicating that I left something somewhere on my Mac.

I had thought this information (most recent open file(s)) was in the plist but I deleted that.

Trimble ought to have an uninstaller app.

doesn’t that depend on macos rather than sketchup ? mac os remembers the last 10 files (by default). could it simply be that it remembered your last SU file, despite the reinstall ?

Hold on, I’m confused. You installed a fresh version of 2023, not 2025? And, you don’t have to wipe previous versions of SketchUp other than freeing up hard drive space once you are certain that the newer version meets your needs. Multiple version of SketchUp can live in harmony on your machine. I always keep older versions on my computer just in case.

I suppose that’s a possibility and maybe the only answer that makes sense! I actually thought that was application centric behavior.

I couldn’t get 2025 to work for me. Very unstable, at least on my MacBook Pro. 2023 isn’t near as problematic. Not to say it too doesn’t have issues

I’m on a 14" MBP M1 Max and Ventura 13.7.4, and so far 2025 is mostly OK.
