Can anyone tell me how to uninstall Octoshape plug in. The plugin does delete but reappears when you reboot. It does say to go to your home folder/library/internet Plug ins and delete. What is "home folder"? Can anyone help?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Home directory means /Users/your_username or the shorthand ~
For instance, if your mac username is jacksparrow, so the full path will be:
/Users/jacksparrow/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
or
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
You can go directly to the directory by following these steps:
1. open Finder app
2. press Command+Shift+G
3. copy the path mentioned above(e.g. ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins) and paste it in, then press enter.
Then you should be able to see OctoshapeWeb.plugin, delete it.
Hey Niel,
I had the same problem ...
An uninstaller can be found in Your home/Library/Octoshape.
Just open the uninstaller and it is gone ...

Worked like charm. Thank you.
Thanks Issam Yousef.
I am still having this issue.
1) Tried uninstalling from the /Library/Octoshape. It again appears on the Finder Tool Bar after reboot.
2) Tried downloading the OctoShape Uninstalled. It is showing the error message like attachment.
Seriously it makes me sick seeing that option every time I reboot. Once i quit the application, it disappears but I feel like it is still running behind.
What OSX version are you running?
OSX 10.9.4

This should show where the files, (.plist most likely), are so we can delete the proper one(s).
So simple.. ! Just change the extension to .txt instead of.plugin.. Then Delete the test file :-) !!!
