Here's a few more files that Zoom leaves littered about.

Of particular note is ZoomAudioDevice.driver which creates another sounds interface on the system. zoomaudiodevice

Thank you for finding those and letting me know about them. I've updated the script with this PR: #3

Found these files after running the script and then fzf to sweep ~/Library

~/Library/Receipts/us.zoom.pkg.videomeeting.bom
~/Library/Receipts/us.zoom.pkg.videomeeting.plist

Thank you for the feedback @OceanEnigma. I added those additional files, plus two more I found, in my latest merge: https://github.com/kris-anderson/remove-zoom-macos/pull/8/commits/83aba8b725d61bce8a15a49dc5161b9d236548c9

I don't have a ~/Library/Receipts/ folder path myself, and the latest zoom installer isn't adding those files for me. Is there a chance you installed Zoom before 2020 when I first created this script and started tracking down Zoom cruft? I think it's worth adding any of the cruft Zoom has added over the years to the script, I was just curious why I haven't found those files yet myself.

Thanks for updating the repository!

I found these files after installing zoom desktop Apple silicon version on M2 mac with MacOs sonoma 14.x

This might be specific to a certain platform or macOS version, but I'm not entirely sure. Hopefully this helps anyway!
