I accidentally installed Spotify on my MacBook Pro. Do not want this app. I have tried following the instructions that Spotify tells you to do but when I get to the part where it says to Delete, when I hit the Delete button nothing happens. I have been reading about just dragging the file to the trash but does that actually uninstall the app? Please can anyone help me. I want this app off NOW.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
From the Finder Go menu: Select "Go to Folder…" then paste in…
/Library/StartupItems
There shouldn't be anything from Spotify in there.
FWIW, Spotify isn't the plague.
drag the file to the trash.
but you may also want to check check two other places:
>System Preferences>Users & Groups
unlock the panel if it is locked with your administrative credentials then go to your account and click startup items
remove any spotify startup items
and check
Macintosh HD/Library/StartupItems
remove any spotify startup items
yep, tried this. but when i tried deleting it nothing happened. all it did was go from blue to a grey color. the only thing i could do was drag and trash. still not sure if i got rid of it completely. i have followed all directions from spotify on uninstalling their app but it would not delete. just trashed it. does that remove it? still not sure.
This solution was posted 4 years ago.
thanks. i removed spotify from users & groups startup items. but can you tell me where i can find Macintosh HD/Library StartupItems.
thank you again.
thanks. all cleared.
i know it isn't the plague, but i really have no use for it. just taking up space.
appreciate your help.
You're welcome.
