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)
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.
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.
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.
