Basics for Uninstalling Software

Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.

Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. If you cannot find the uninstaller then you could download the freeware, Easy Find, to locate files that need to be removed. The places you need to search include:

1. /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. Check if the application has created a folder then delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.
2. Applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder or the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Users & Groups preferences. Open it inSystem Preferences, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Select the item from the list and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it.
3. Some software use startup daemons or agents. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.

Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.

There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:

1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Hazel
4. AppCleaner
5. CleanApp
6. iTrash
7. AppBolish
8. AppUninstaller
9. Uninstaller

Yes, but mostly because anything in hidden or restricted folders (all the Library folders, for example) will not be found using "Find". Easy Find is much better and nearly as fast. Be sure to check with Adobe for any uninstaller updates, etc. Or at worst reinstall the software then uninstall it with the included uninstaller.

FWIW, for you to find all the parts using "Find", you would have to know the names of all the parts. And as Kappy said, that won't find the "Hidden" parts.

If it were me, I would use AppCleaner. Simple, effective and free.

To be fair, Kappy also recommended AppCleaner.

This App is on my iMac OS 10.1.6 computer because when I got it, I foolishly migrated everything from my AirBook (running 10.11.9 )

OS 10.1.6 ?

10.11.9 ?

Neither one exists.

Yes, of course, you are right. He did and the others he listed are no doubt good ideas too. I guess I just didn't feel up to picking among them.

No Problem. I just felt Kappy deserved some acknowledgement. 😎
