How do I remove Legacy Extensions on Mac for Acronis software?

I've uninstalled Acronis from my Mac but keep getting a message that there is a legacy extension that is no longer supported in future versions of Apple software. I want Acronis completely off my machine. How do I do this?

Thank you,


However, I've downloaded Acronis True Image from their site 3 times now and each time when I try to move it to the Applications folder I get a message that it is damaged and I should move it to Trash. So, I moved it to AppCleaner directly but got a message saying, "Acronis True Image couldn't be moved to the trash because the volume Acronis True Image doesn't have one. Any suggestions?

Have you already deleted the application? If not try using the free AppCleaner  Drag the Acorns application onto it, check all of the checkboxes and click on the Remove button. If you use AppCleaner on an app that you have other apps from the same developer like Adobe, you must be extremely careful checking all checkbooks and deleting. Some for those other files may support other apps from the same developer and deleting them can mess them up - Adobe apps is one primary example.


If you've already deleted the app you can download it again from the website, put it in the Applications folder and then drag it onto the AppCleaner app.

I'm not familiar with how to uninstall programs from Mac unless they provide an uninstaller.

Then you are familiar with how to do it. Either you didn't use their uninstaller or it didn't clean up its crud like it is supposed to do.

If an app needs an installer, you should verify exactly what it is going to modify and determine if they provide an uninstaller or clear, easy-to-follow instructions. If they don't, don't install the app.
