Cleans up Akool Live Camera device left behind after uninstalling the Akool Live Camera app

cleanup-akool.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# cleanup-akool.sh — Remove all remnants of the Akool Live Camera app
#
# What it does:
#   1. Deactivates and uninstalls the Akool virtual camera system extension
#      (this is the "rogue video device" that shows up in apps like Zoom, FaceTime, etc.)
#   2. Removes Akool's Application Support folder (configs, avatars, face data, logs)
#   3. Removes the preferences plist (contains stale auth tokens — a security concern)
#   4. Optionally removes Chrome IndexedDB data for akool.com
#
# Requirements:
#   - Must be run with sudo (system extension removal requires root)
#   - SIP does NOT need to be disabled on modern macOS
#
# Usage:
#   sudo bash cleanup-akool.sh [--include-browser-data]
#
