Deleting "uninstall" program

I was looking for a photoshop that I can use on mac.
So I downloaded "Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version" from CNET.
After couple days, I decided I dont need trial version because I found free photoshop program called gimp.
I opened up "app cleaner" application and deleted "CS6"
Now I have "CS6 uninstall" program just sitting there. I have tried dragging it to the trash can but it does not work.
How can I delete this "uninstall" program?

I think I finally figured it out....
I had to use Finder, search for python, then delete it that way...
Next question: How do I delete this post so I don't look like an idiot?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Adobe Product Problems. Can't Install, or Uninstall programs. Also programs installed on my computer are not showing up in CC

I have tried many times but, I can not install any adobe products onto my computer (It does meet system requirements). It always is gets an "Installation failed" error at 42% I also can not uninstall adobe programs. I have Adobe after effects installed and I have tried to uninstall it. A window comes up saying "Uninstall Failed" and gives me some trouble shooting tips which I have tried many times. Another problem is when I open up creative cloud my installed programs do not show up. For example I have Adobe After Effects but, in creative cloud it is listed as uninstalled and has a button that says "Try" even though it is already installed onto my computer. I have problems with the CreativeCloudCleaner too. I have tried using it to uninstall programs but, when I choose the option to delete adobe CC products it only gives me the option to delete Creative Cloud and no CC programs. These are problems I have been trying to fix for days but, I have not yet found a solution anywhere.

New computer, downloaded a program and it now will not uninstall program

I recently just bought this laptop and I downloaded Windows Office 365 proplus, (basically it says office 2013 version in all of the programs,) package from my schools website for me to do school work. I ran into an issue first with being able to log into the program for verification to be able to even use the program, so I dug out my disk that I own of the Microsoft Office home and student 2010 version and installed that as well on my computer from my disk. This program works for me so I went to unistall the 2013 version on my computer and it first popped up a box that I honestly do not recall what it said but it gave me 2 options to unistall program, I chose 1 option and hit accept. The Microsoft office program is still on my computer, it never deleted/unistalled, and I have tried waiting for a day with computer on, I have tried restarting, I have tried shutting down and starting back up computer, but everytime the program is still there and I try to uninstall again and it will not let me do anything, when I double click on the program and unistall button the following message appears "Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed" Can I please get assistance to delete this off of my computer because I do not want it and can not use it. Thanks.

After updating my latest iTunes, the currupted program won't open or start, even tried deleting the program and reinstall.

On my Windows 7, my latest iTune, after udating to the latest version, I cannot open or start the program. I even deleted the program from my system and then reinstall/download iTune from Apple Store, but the same problem persist. Anyway to get back my iTune back?

Hey there nkg0319,
It sounds like you have uninstalled the iTunes application but you are still not able to launch it after a recent update. I would recommend uninstalling the iTunes application and its associated files with the following article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Then download iTunes again, with this link:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Uninstalling programs and related components

How do I uninstall programs and components from this machine. It was given to me with all the original owners stuff on it.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
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. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
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:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Uninstalling programs or applications from my mac

Hello, how are you.
I'm a new mac user... and I have a doubt. If anybody knows, please answer me as soon as you read this. Is very important. How can I uninstall programs or applications from my mac?
Somebody talks me that I had to remove the archives from my mac. But, I don't know if "really" I'm uninstalling the program.
Please... I hope an answer!
Thank you, very much.

In MacOS X you can delete most applications by simply
dragging their icon to the trash (and ofcourse empty
the trash afterwards). Very few application do have
an uninstall application or offer an uninstall
feature in the original installer.
Trashing is one way to remove files, but it can, in the case of complicated applications that write to folders outside of their own application folder, not completely remove all the files associated with the application, this can be viewed/ termed as a "dirty uninstall".
For applications check if there is an uninstall option with the installstaller program for the application (in the case of MS Office theirs is a separate utility called "Remove Office" for this sole purpose). If a deinstallation option for the application is not present "dirty deinstallation" can be avoided by using a third-party application to do the job properly (e.g. springcleaning from Allume: http://www.allume.com/mac/springcleaning/ ).

How to uninstall programs

my macbook says that my start up disc is full and that i need to uninstall programs. i have no idea how to do that. for some reason i thought once i put the program from applications to the trash bin that that would deleted them (after i delete the trash bin) but they still seem to be on here because my husband says after i deleted some of his programs he was still able to use them and i still get the "start-up disc full" message.
please help
thank you

Hi romini;
Generally speaking programs are relatively small. It is usually the data files that take up more space. Of these data files, the worst offenders are usually music and photo that can eat a disk alive.
I would suggest you download an application called WhatSize. This will tell you exactly what is eating up the most disk space on your system. Then you can go through and either move them elsewhere or delete them.

 Delete/uninstall AppZapper? 

How can you delete/uninstall AppZapper itself?

Very tiny files like preferences and such, just in case you reinstall the program.
If you truly want to remove all traces, you have to consult the developers site what is installed where and how to remove or do a complete wipe and reinstall of the operating system/reverse clone if your paranoid.
Most responsible honest developers provide a unistaller or rely upon the simple drag/drop/trash method, are comfortable in the fact that people don't want to use their program anymore and wish to remove it.
There is no way a third party "app zapping" programs can keep up with all the of changes developers make with all their tens of thousands of programs. Some zappers have resorted to using "searching" which lists all what the app zapper program THINKS is a associated program file. Some people have flagged the wrong files by accident and deleted them with strange issues to occur later.
Deal directly with the developer about how to remove their program, as they can make changes anytime.
If you don't trust the developer then reverse clone. If you don't know how to make a optional bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper on a external blank HFS formatted drive, then find out. It's the ONLY sure way to make sure any unwanted code is off your machine.
Your question of "How to delete/remove AppZapper" raises a interesting point, how come they didn't include a uninstaller for their own program?
Smells like scambait, just like MacKeeper. They get on your machine and don't provide a way to remove it, any program like that needs to be treated with suspect as they are up to no good right away.

How to safely uninstall programs in OS X 10.3.9?

I realize this may be a dumb question, but how do I safely remove programs from my computer? My iBook came with a lot of pre-installed software (such as a now-expired trial version of MS Office) that I don't need, and I would like to free up some disk space. Is it safe to just throw the program in the Trash? I'm used to the complicated world of Windows where you have to use the Add/Remove Programs utility - simply deleting the program seems too "easy" to me.
Thanks, any help is appreciated!

Hi Scott,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Here is what Microsoft has to say about uninstalling their Test Drive for 2004. The other thing to do is to search you computer for MS office and delete everything manually, preferences and all. But your best bet is to do what Microsoft says. theXlab has this to say.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Can not open / uninstall programs after updating n...

Hello guys, I'm new the forum but not products of Nokia. I have a nokia C7 and a few daysago I made last updated Nokia Belle. So far so good, if not by mistake, I used the programand I tampered Xplore sis and bin folders that you are confused. As soon as the phone hasproblems, I thought the hard reset would fix it and in part it was so, it was not for the fact that I can not access programs: Nokia store, Nokia maps, Shazam, Traveler, F -Secure, social, and probably others. I tried uninstalling Nokia store, but when I delete / uninstall nothing happens. Furthermore, the application screen is installed, all the others that work well are displayed with a red icon, while stores, social etc ... have a yellow icon. Please help me!

Perform a 3 finger reset. Be sure to backup your data as this will remove all your files. Also this will remove store, maps, social and many of the apps/services which should be available via software update client on your phone.
And a point of caution here - it worked in Anna, but not sure of belle. Or the next better option will be to take your phone to Nokia care where they'll be flashing your phone and reinstall the firmware.
In Love With My C6-01:Now running on Nokia Belle!

How do you delete/uninstall Dropbox from Os 10.6.4

I have a brand new Imac with Os 10.6.7 and cannot figure out how to delete/uninstall Dropbox! I could kill myself for downloading this horrid program. Thanks for your help.

Hi again:
To delete the program, just locate it in your system and drag it to the trash. If that does not get everything, do the following:
To do a "find," close everything. Then go to the menu bar and click on file. A drop down menu will appear. Click on "find." Select system files from where it says "kind." Then select "include" from the next box. Then type dropbox into the search field.
This should get you every instance of the program. At that point, you can delete the ones you wish. Be careful, the search will probably locate many things that are not associated with the program you mentioned.
I sometimes assume things (bad on my part).

P.S. Welcome to the wonderful world of Apple computing. I am confident you will never return to the "dark side."

HT4673 how to uninstall programs from Mountain Lion?

how to uninstall programs from Mountain Lion?

Hi,
Theres a couple ways to uninstall programs. The launchpad is the rocket icon on the dock. If you open that you should see your apps spread out as icons as if it would be on a iphone or other iOS device. If you just click the icon with your mouse button and continue holding the mouse button the will shake and show the X. If you click that X it will ask if you want to delete the program. This only works for programs downloaded through the APP Store. If a program does not have an X then proceed to the next way of uninstalling
-- The way to delete a program that will not delete the previous way is as followed:
Open finder
- On the left side you will see applications > Click that
- Then you will see all the programs on the right side.
- If you click on the program and drag it to your trash bin it will ask if you would like to make changes and delete.
- Just make sure not to delete anything that was preinstalled with you Mac

How do I uninstall labview application with no uninstall program

I have built an application and selected to not have an "uninstall" application in the various 5.1 app builder options. I did not think this would be a problem since I thought the application would show up in my add/remove programs and could be removed from there. However, it seems that if no uninstall program is selected then the application also does not appear in the add/remove section of control panel. Do I just delete the directory of the application? Are there any registry settings to worry about. I have seen this on Win 2K and Win 98. I have not tried others.

There are registry settings when you install the application builder, and probably an association is made in the registry to open your application and have it spawn the runtime engine of the correct version. However, as the Windows Registry is the most obsolete piece of software junk on the planet, and so chock full of mysteries, incosistencies, and well, a whole list of things that I could complain about, I cannot say for certain what registry settings are added/changed when you do an installation.
I will make this suggestion. Just delete the folder, and also, you will need to delete the "my application".ini file in the root directory, or wherever your application is located (which could be taken care of when you delete the folder, but who knows.)
On
ce you have deleted the folder, any remaining registry settings left over will be added to the rather large list of leftover registry entries from other applications that are unistalled/deleted. The truth of the matter is that I have NEVER seen an application completely remove all of itself, or its registry entries. I don't even know if uninstallation removes ANY registry entries.
If we are all lucky, someone at Microsoft will take a hint and get rid of the registry. Maybe then we can have flash resident operating systems. Until then, I'll stick with Linux, thank you....

How to uninstall programs on Mac OSX

I just switched from PC to Mac, and I have no idea how to uninstall programs.
Im thinking you just drag the app to the trashcan, but does that remove all the files, or is there another way?

Hello,
Preference files (.plist) are left in
~/Library/Preferences if you want clean those out too
(I dont like anything left over). Sometimes other
Yes, some people don't like the slightest trace left behind. But, for the novice user, the PLIST files are not a big deal. They don't take-up much space, and are not worth accidentally deleting the wrong file for a novice.
files are left (cache folders and application
folders) that need to be removed too.
Fortunately, that is done quite easily by running maintenance programs like OnyX that clear out the caches:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
I used to do it all manually (using spotlight
search), but recently found AppZapper
(http://appzapper.com/) and use that. Worth every
penny and does a great job clearly everything out.
Never used that program. It sounds convenient. But, I'm a bit cheap. I won't pay for anything I can do for free
But moving the program to the trash does "uninstall"
the program. However some large ones (like Adobe
Photoshop and Dreamweaver) install things all over
your system, so just deleting them from Applications
wont remove everything.
Yes, there is the occasional program like that. I'm happy to say that they are the minority. I don't like programs that scatter stuff about.
