How to completely remove camtwist?

I installed this plugin "CamTwist" (I don't even remember why at this point) and it has been harder to eradicate than a virus. After trying many different things it still causes me problems. For example it's still selectable as a input device on many programs such as skype. Sometimes it auto selects itself and whenever it's selected it produces a blank screen or a bunch of garbage input.


Can anyone tell me how to completley remove it once and for all?

PLEASE READ... THIS ACTUALLY WORKS 😉


Hi! I hope this helps. This works with CamTwist 3.0. I don't know if it works with other versions too, but it probably will.


1) Delete CamTwist from your Applications folder.

2) Then remove the plugin by pasting this into Terminal:

sudo rm -rf /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/CamTwist.plugin

Hi,


He means open the Terminal App in Applications/Utilities and enter the line of code that was posted and then press enter/return to make it work.
