I've been testing OSX 10.9.3 untill the shipping version of the system, which is now available to everyone. Now I've left the beta seed program, but my feedback assistant is still here on my mac and I can't uninstall it.
Can someone tell me how to remove it from my Mac?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
1. Go to Applications->Utilities.
2. Find Feedback Assistant shortcut and mouse right click on it. Then select show original.
3. Delete the original app file.
4. Go back to Application->Utilities and remove the shortcut.
5. Empty your Trash.
Ta-da....
There's no need to, you can just remove the Dock icon as with any other.
If you feel that you must : Command Click Feedback Assistant in the Dock & a Finder window should open, with it selected.
How do I leave the OS X Beta Program?
Is there any way to stop Feedback Assistant from starting up in Guest mode? I occasionally let people use my computer in Guest mode but its annoying to have it popup every time and then go through the decline process, etc.
But can we prevent it from auto-loading every time we reboot?
AND is it slowing down the system while it is running?
Well, it does for me every time I reboot.
Thanks but the option wasn't checked and it started up. Also, any settings are deleted when the guest account is closed and when reopened it is with the default settings.

Lives in /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/. Delete it. If it's autoloading, a state I've never seen and I've been beta-testing for years, then check for a feedback assistant launch agent, daemon, or login item.

The correct way to fix this is to delete the following plists, never delete the Feedback Assistant.app
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.appleseed.seedusaged.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.appleseed.fbahelperd.plist
How do I stop Feedback Assistant putting a Send Feedback link in all the help menu's? I've tried removing the app but it says “Feedback Assistant” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X.". I've also tried removing the .plist files like Ash suggested. But it still says “can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X.", even when trying to delete them via the Sudo rm -R command in Terminal.
Any ideas, please?
Besides, if trying to delete the app file directly OS responds: "“Feedback Assistant” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X."
GREAT idea. But the app does NOT show up anywhere in APPLICATIONS folders or subfolders (like Utilities). Any clue where they hid it?
Mike :-)
It doesn't auto load.
I can see Utilities in my Application (shortcut in the Finder). I didn't have any issue. Maybe you should try baltwo's suggestion.
YES! That is where it lives and where it died! Deleted and no longer have it popping up when I reboot. THANK YOU!
