Unable to uninstall Grammarly on Mac with macOS Monterey?

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble uninstalling Grammarly. It's frustrating when something doesn't work as it should. Try following these steps:

1. Quit Grammarly: You can do this by going to the menu bar at the top of the screen, clicking on the Grammarly icon, and selecting 'Quit Grammarly.' Make sure it's completely closed.

2. If Grammarly is still running in the background, you may need to force quit it. Open "Activity Monitor" from the Utilities folder in Applications, or use Spotlight Search to find it. Search for "Grammarly" in Activity Monitor, select it, then click on the 'X' at the top-left corner to force it to quit.

3. Now, you should be able to drag the Grammarly app to the trash bin, just like uninstalling any other application.

4. Also, remember to remove the Grammarly extension from your web browsers. Each browser has a different process to manage extensions, so make sure to check for each one you've installed Grammarly on.

5. Once you've done all that, empty your trash.

6. Restart your Mac.

This process should remove Grammarly from your Mac.

I had this problem too. You need to open the apps you have grammarly active on (for me it was microsoft word) then click the little green grammarly icon that appears at the bottom on you document. Then double click and click quit. You might have to do this in multiple places such as messages or notes if you have it enabled there. Then when you go to your finder and click applications you should be able to delete the app.

I can not uninstall Grammarly app. I have tried logging out from the website and still the following message appears when trying to move the app to the trash. Anymore ideas on how to trash the app?

Thanks

Use the search spotlight to access the activity monitor. There you can find grammarly, double click it and then force quit. then go back to finder and you should be able to move it to the trash bin. worked for me, nothing on apple forums was really helpful but i found this on reddit

According to Grammarly Support…

1. Click on the Grammarly button in the menu bar and select Quit. 
2. Go to Finder > Applications.
3. Find Grammarly for Mac on the list and move it to Trash (or Bin).

The first step is important.

Grammarly has a icon on the menu extras menu bar. When you click the icon, there is a Quit selection. Do that. Then see if you can remove the application. The Grammarly Desktop application is a separate entity from the Grammarly Extension for Safari, if you also installed that.

The program icon does not appear in the menu bar (its not active)

It does not appear (as running) when I try and force close...

If i try and move to bin I receive an error message: The item “Grammarly Desktop” can’t be moved to the Bin because it’s open.

thank you so much bro you're actually the goat

+1.

You're welcome.

I had to give permission to Grammerly Desktop, then I could quit the app from the top of the page.
