⚠️ Warning

Druva advises observing restraint and caution in following this method, as it involves deleting configuration files and keychain entries from your device. You may consult your systems administrator before proceeding with this method, as it erases all user preferences and settings related to inSync from an earlier installation stored in the configuration files and keychain entries. The device is recognized as a new device when a user logs into the inSync Client.

Open the Terminal on your device.
Access ~/Library/Application Support.
Delete the inSync directory by running the command rm-r inSync
Open Keychain Access and do the following steps to delete the inSync keys:
1. Select Systems in the Keychains section.
2. Select Passwords in the Category section.
3. Search the keychain entries named com.druva.inSync.
4. Delete all the entries with the name com.druva.inSync. The system prompts for administrator credentials.
5. Enter the administrator credentials and click Modify Keychain. This deletes the selected Keychain entries.
