Signed in with my friend’s account and it downloaded 11Gb of content. 

I don’t need that account and content on my Mac. 

How to delete that profile and all his library to gain back my storage space?

Thanks.

    Hi Manuel.

    1) Open the "Go" menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key. You'll see "Library" appear as an option - open it.

    2) Open the Application Support folder.

    3) Find the Logos4 folder and trash it. 

    4) Throw away the Logos application in the Applications folder.

    A few questions:

    I think you did this in your installation of Logos/Verbum, which means that you can still sign in to your account but you can also sign in as your friend.

    In theory, you can delete your friend's profile and all his Library without upsetting your account, but I need a Mac specialist to comment on HOW.

    And throw away Manuel's installation as well? We should wait for confirmation of what I wrote before getting drastic.

    I missed the part where he had his own installation. 

    I suppose he could look in the library for the most recent additions and pitch them. If it were me, I would dump everything and start fresh. I've got pretty quick wifi, though.

    Dave & Greg, 

    I ended up completely uninstalling everything, manually deleting in the Mac's Library folder, etc. 

    Then, I downloaded my account again. 

    It seems to be working fine :) But it was a long process. 

    I wish there was an easier way.

    Thanks for your help!

    If your friend wants to use their account on your computer again you might consider limiting them to the Web App?

    There is an easier way without downloading your resources i.e. https://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_Multiple_Macs#Copy_Logos_Resources_to_macOS

    This depends on your definition of 'easier'

    I would say that the easiest (and safest) way would be to download the program and let it work through the process as designed.

    It seems to me that all other ways are only less time consuming and only less time consuming if one is sitting waiting for the process to complete.

    "Quicker" is more accurate and the method would help those with download limitations (capped/speed).
