Complete uninstall on Mac
I recently upgraded to a new laptop and somehow in the transfer PyCharm has stopped working effectively (can't run tests, can't find Django databases, etc.) I want to uninstall it completely and do a new clean install. I've deleted everything that I can find related to PyCharm in my Applications folder and Library but whenever I reinstall it comes up with all the previous settings preloaded (e.g. license, color scheme, remote hosts, etc.) Is there a way to do a clean install without having to reformat my hard-drive?

Please remove the ~/Library/Caches/PyCharm20 and ~/Library/Preferences/PyCharm20 directories.
Thank you, I had missed the files in preferences and removing them did the trick.
Why each file is created by pycharm with a "%" at the end of the file？It causes exe error。It’s a bug?Need for help!!!
Hi Arunyh! That's not really a file content, this symbol is added by zsh - https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/167600
Here's what worked best for me.
1. Go to Applications > right click PyCharm > move to trash
2. open a terminal and run the following: find ~/Library/ -iname "*pycharm*"
verify that all of the results are in fact related to PyCharm and not something else important you need to keep. Then, remove them all using the command: find ~/Library -iname "*pycharm*" -exec rm -r "{}" \;
