How do i remove feedback assistant?

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?

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?

To leave the program, visit the Leave Program page and follow the instructions to remove your Apple ID from the OS X Beta Program. If you wish to return to a shipping version of OS X, we recommended that you wait until the final version of OS X Yosemite is available. OS X Yosemite is coming this Fall, and it will be a free upgrade that you can install over your current installation. If you must remove the beta software from your computer, you will need to erase, install, and restore the Time Machine backup of Mavericks that you created before you installed the OS X Yosemite Beta. Any changes to your files and documents since you installed the OS X Yosemite Beta will not be preserved when restoring your Mavericks backup, so be sure to copy any new or changed files before you begin restoring from your Mavericks backup.

GREAT idea. But the app does NOT show up anywhere in APPLICATIONS folders or subfolders (like Utilities). Any clue where they hid it?

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.

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?
