HOW CAN I FIND AND DELETE CLEAN MY MAC

I have been haunted with this now for 2 years. I have tried everything I can think of to get this terrible software off my Mac, but hav failed. Every few minutes this software pops up and asks me if I want to delete my trash with it. Can someone show me how to find it?
This is my Mac specs:

"CleanMyMac" is a scam and a common cause of instability and poor performance. The developer's instructions don't completely remove it. Follow those instructions, then do as below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Repeat with this line:
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Never again install "CleanMyMac" or anything like it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HELP!! How can I find and delete duplicate mp3 files.

    I have a zillion copies of songs and I want to find and delete duplicate mp3 files. I have used MediaRage to find the duplicate files (16 thousand or so) but it can't delete them. It will take a million yrs to delete them manually. Does anyone know a way to do this quickly or a program that will do this for me. I have a 15 in Powerbook with OS 10.5.3
    Thanks so much if you can help.

    This site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ has hundreds of scripts (small programs that do stuff) for iTunes.

  • How can I find and delete videos from iPhoto?

    When I use iMovie to create a video for You Tube the program loads every bit of video I have in iPhoto.  I have attempted to delete all of the old, unused, videos but they do not all appear in the library list.  I have several videos that come up in iMpovie that I can't find in iPhoto.  Thanks for your help.
    Stu

    Use the serach feature at the bottom of iPhoto and enter "movie".  All  movie files imported into iPhoto are automatically given a keyword, movie.
    Or you can create a smart album with the following criteria:  Keyword is movie.  Select all the movie files and use the key combination Option+Command+Delete to move the files to the iPhoto Trash Bion.  Then empty the iPhoto trash bin and the Trash bin in the Dock..

  • How can i find and delete duplicate emails on my mac

    I use Apple Mail, Gmail and a third party email on my few Apple devices (iMac and Macbook Air both running Mavericks and iPhone 4s running current version iOS). 
    I would like to sort through, locate and delete duplicate emails (from several misguided approaches to Rules, Mailboxes, Smart Mailboxes, etc.)

    Hi,
    Presuming the Post is about the Messages app and iMessages.
    If you delete them they are gone or the Mac.
    An iMessages arrives  and is displayed in the App.
    there is a setting in the Preferences > General section about Saving on Close.
    The iMessages are also stored in the chat.db items (unless deleted) and this provides the "history" when you reconnect to a contact who is not currently on display in the main window.
    In Mavericks Saved Chats and the chat.db items (there are three in total) are held in different places.
    The app does not work like Mail where the emails can be left on the Server and "read" by other devices.
    The iMessages are pushed to the devices that then accepts them.
    After that the "sync" function ends (What you do with the iMessages on one device is not seen or changed on another)

  • JS CS3 How can I find -and delete- anchored empty images frames

    I have a script that works fine with text,
    I need the same function, but find and remove anchored empty image frames
    thx
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument
    for(var myCounter = myDoc.textFrames.length-1; myCounter>=0; myCounter--)
    var myFrames = myDoc.textFrames[myCounter]
    if (myDoc.textFrames[myCounter].contents == ""){
    myDoc.textFrames[myCounter].remove()

    I'd do it this way:
    1. Grab the document's allPageItems.
    2. Iterate over it, ignoring text frames.
    3. Check to see: (a) if the parent is a character and (b) if the graphics collection of the page item is empty. If so, delete it.

  • How do I find and delete old plugins

    Since my leopard days I have been migrating data over as I updraded to the new OSX 10.9. When I start to open apps. Pro tools, Logic x, and otehr DAWs, there are some plug ins that are not compatable. Rather than leave a bug, and taking more time to launch my apps, how can I find and delete some of the plug ins that are 32 bit that don't work with 64 bot applications.
    Just house cleaning. Thanks.

    Under the file tab in iTunes, select Display Duplicates. From there you can delete them as well.

  • I opened "Fedex Shipment"malware. How do I find and delete it?

    I opened an email labeled "Fedex Shipment Department." I believe it to be a Trojan or some other type of problem. How can I find and delete this?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It is impossible to tell where malware (if there is any) might be located. I would probably clear the browser cache and cookies (if I  was concerned). If I was really concerned, I would restore my system from the latest backup.
    Apple does have code to intercept malware, but I have no clue how it works.

  • How can I find and eliminate duplicates in iTunes 11?

    I can't seem to find the "Find exact duplicates" item in the File Menu in version 11. How can I find and deal with duplicates?

    Shift-View-Show Exact Duplicates should reveal them. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

  • How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an actio

    How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
    Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

    Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
    I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
    leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
    Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
    Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

  • How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

    How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.
