The software is smart enough to know that these links no longer point to live data. Incidentally, when you remove a TeX Distribution, say TeX Live 2021, it is not necessary to remove its related links from the TeX Distribution Data structure. Warning: if you have other TeX distributions, they may have also installed files in /Library/TeX, so erasing this folder is then not a good idea. You will be asked to give an Administrator password. But if you must, locate /Library in the Finder and drag the subfolder TeX to the trash. This data structure takes very little space, so it makes little sense to erase it.

When MacTeX is installed, it doesn't touch texmf-local if it already exists, but it creates an empty directory tree if none is present.Ĭonsequently, if you are updating TeX Live to a new version, you want to leave texmf-local alone.

TeX Live 2022 is entirely contained in /usr/local/texlive/2022 the old TeX Live 2021 was in /usr/local/texlive/2021. Luckily, TeX Live is installed in a single directory on the Mac it is not scattered over several different places. The actual TeX distribution TeX Live is by far the largest piece of MacTeX. However, it is fairly easy to remove most software installed by MacTeX. The Apple Installer does not support uninstalling files.
