Macbook: How do I uninstall a game on the macbook? I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

Check the website to see how to uninstall it. If you can't find it...

Drag the application to the trash.

Go to ~/Library/Application Support and trash the folder the goes with the game.

Go to ~/Library/Cache/ and find the cache that is the same or similar to the game name and delete that. (You will probably have to secure empty the trash.)

Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ Find the file name and this time it will end in .plist. Delete the file. This is the file that holds all of the preferences for the game.

This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash. Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.

Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run. Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too.

You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.

Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.
