How do I remove Ginger spell checker from my computer?

I made the mistake of installing Ginger spell checker and now, I can't get rid of it. Anybody figured out how to remove it? Tks.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

    How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems:  1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize.  2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

    If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
    The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.

  • How do I remove a profile account from one computer without deleting the data?

    Hi! I want to delete mozilla from one computer and remove my profile account so that all of my data on this computer is deleted. But I use the same profile in mozilla on another computer and I don`t know if my profile will keep the data stored on this computer after deleting it in the other one. Can you please clarify this issue for me. Thanks!
    Best,
    Vanya

    If you want to delete your personal data on a computer reliably then you would have to perform a secure wipe to clear the data on the hard drive.
    Otherwise Windows will only mark data as deleted.
    Best is to disconnect from Sync before deleting data on a computer to avoid other computers from getting affected.
    You can use the Profile Manager to remove a profile.

  • How can I remove version 3.5 from my computer... the add/remove programs will not work, I have 3.6 installed and 3.5 is taking up over 2 gigabytes of disk space according to the add/remove in the control panel and nothing I do will remove 3.5

    I have been trying to make room on my C drive and have been removing stuff I don't use. I have version 3.6 Firefox but my settings show I also have 3.5 which shows over 2,000 megabytes of disc space being used. I try to remove it but nothing happens, nor can I find it when searching "my computer" to try and kill it. Why would any program use up 2 gig of space?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I was trying to find a way to clear up space on my C drive

    If you need to consider removing 30MB folders to create space then I imagine your hdd is seriously short of space. Normally I think it is often suggested a minimum of 20-25% free space be left on a Windows machine hdd. How much free space % wise have you at present.
    You probably have already thought of these, a lack of space could slow things down and may even contribute to crash problems.
    *Not using the Hibernate feature will release one largish chunk.
    *Not keeping video files on the HDD unnecessarily is also likely to save space.

  • How do i remove my apple id from a computer user section

    When my In-laws first got their computer they used my apple id in the administrator section.  Now I have my own section on their computer and would like to sync my itouch.  However when I try it says it will do it to the whole computer because my apple id is still being used as the main one.  How do I switch it to my mother-in-laws apple id??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It doesn't have anything to do with your administrators details, she needs to enter her own Apple ID in iTunes in her user account.

  • How can I remove Firefox 4.0 from my computer?

    I recently attempted to install Firefox 4.0, but I have been unable to complete the installation.
    Every time I have tried to use 4.0, I have gotten a message that tells me to restart my computer to complete installation. However, after I've restarted the computer numerous times, the installation remains incomplete. Instead of the usual Firefox icon, there is an icon of an open box and a disc.
    After many attempts to complete the installation of 4.0, I tried to uninstall it. However, the computer refused to uninstall it, because the program never finished installing in the first place. I got the usual message to restart the computer, which accomplished nothing.
    I then tried to use System Restore to restore the previous version of Firefox, but the computer could not complete the restoration, because 4.0 has not finished installing. After using System Restore, Firefox 3.6.15 is now listed in the Programs list, but I still cannot uninstall it. I still get the "restart computer" message.
    Currently, I'm still seeing the box/disc icon, but now when I click it, it does nothing at all.
    Is there no way to rid my computer of the awful scourge that is Firefox 4.0?

    <br /> The install path for ACR in Photoshop 7 and 8 is entirely different from the above. So you can have all four iterations of ACR installed, one for each version of Photoshop.
    <br />
    <br /> I keep Photoshop 7.0.1, 8, 9.0.2 and 10 installed. I can even run more than one version of Photoshop at once, I just have to start the older version first.
