Uninstall the GoTo Opener

GoTo Meeting uses the GoTo Opener app to help launch you into active sessions. Uninstalling the GoTo Opener app can be a helpful troubleshooting step if you are having issues installing your GoTo product software or being launched into session.

Note that the Opener/Launcher uses log files and browser cookies to detect whether it’s already installed on your system to help properly launch you into session, so you will need to complete all of the steps listed below in order to do a completely clean uninstall.Learn more about the GoTo Opener.

Uninstall on Windows

If you are an IT Admin planning to re-install the GoTo Opener using the multi-user MSI again, you need to complete only Step #1 for Windows or Mac. In all other cases, we highly recommend completed all steps to ensure a full uninstall.

  1. Remove the application.
    Use Programs and Features to uninstall the application. Depending on the way in which is was first installed when you first installed it, it will be listed as either “GoTo Opener” or “Citrix Online Launcher”.
    Note: This process will vary depending on your operating system; typically it involves opening Programs & Features, right-clicking the application and selecting Uninstall or Remove.
  2. Delete cookies and locally stored data.
    Lastly, you should clear the cached data and cookies from your web browser. This step is particularly important if you expect to use GoTo products again in the future.
    • Google Chrome – see instructions.
    • Mozilla Firefox – see instructions.
    • Microsoft Edge – see instructions.
  3. If desired, delete temporary files.
    1. Open Windows Explorer.
    2. Go to “C:\Users\< username >\AppData\Local\Temp”, or enter “%tmp%” in the address bar.
    3. Open "LogMeInLogs" (if it appears there) and delete the “GoToOpenerMsi” directory and the “ClickOnceGoToOpener.log” and “GoToOpener.log” files (if they appear there).
    4. Go to “C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Citrix\Plugins\104”, and delete “npappdetector.dll”.
    5. Clear your Recycle Bin.
What to do next: If you run into an issue, please contact Windows directly for further help.

    4. Go to “/Users/< username >/Library/Applications/Utilities/CitrixOnline” (if it appears there).

    1. Open Terminal.
    2. Enter the command “open citrixonline://”.
    3. If it says "The file .../citrixonline: does not exist." you're done.
    4. If a launcher app opens, then right-click the app icon in the dock. Select Options > Show in Finder.
    5. Delete the launcher app in the Finder, then empty your Trash again. Repeat this process until you see “/citrixonline: does not exist”.
  4. Delete cookies and locally stored data.
