Completely Remove Apps From Mac
Depending on the software that you're uninstalling, you might be asked to enter your admin password to properly dispose of the file (s) in Trash. Now either right-click on the Trash icon and select 'Empty Trash,' or open Trash and click on 'Empty' at the top-right corner, then confirm. If you want to prepare your Mac for the macOS Catalina download, you should delete unneeded 32-bit programs from your computer. To uninstall apps from your Mac, launch App Cleaner & Uninstaller → select outdated, unneeded 32-bit apps → click Uninstall → click Remove to confirm their deletion. Dec 31, 2016 I have an old Macbook Pro, currently running OS X El Captain Version 10.11.3. I tried to update it to OS Sierra, I downloaded Sierra, but the update failed many times so I decided to just cancel the update since this is not my main computer anyway. I no longer want to continue with the update. Sudo /Library/McAfee/cma/uninstall.sh. And press Return. Restart your Mac and McAfee will be gone. Should others face a similar situation with a different variety of software it’s always a good.
Files from a failed or removed installation take up disk space and can cause problems when you install or run a newer version of the Adobe application.
Delete files from a previous Adobe application installation
To delete files from a previous Adobe application installation, do the following:
If the Adobe application folder exists, drag it to Trash. By default, the folders are located in the Applications folder on the hard disk.
Drag the preferences folder to Trash from the Users/[User]/Library/Preferences folder. (For example, drag the Acrobat folder to Trash.)
Note:
The user Library folder is hidden by default in Mac OS X 10.7 and later releases. To access files in the hidden library folder, see How to access hidden user library files.
Drag the application PLIST file, located in the Users/[User]/Library/Preferences folder, to Trash. Skip this step if the Adobe application doesn't include a PLIST file.
If you don't have other Adobe applications installed on your computer, drag each of the Adobe folders to Trash from the following locations:
- Users/[User]/Library/Application Support
- Library/Application Support
Empty Trash. If you receive an error message while trying to empty Trash, see the next section.
