How do I uninstall Windows XP from my Mac ?

I have both Parallels and Window XP on my older Mac. I want to know how to properly uninstall them both.

The following may help:
Parallels uninstall instructions (the title is for Parallels 10 but the page gives links to earlier versions 3 through 9): http://kb.parallels.com/en/122653
If you also have a Bootcamp installation the following may help: Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac

  • How can I uninstall windows XP from my mac yosemite 10.10

    I am trying to uninstall XP from my mac ( mid 2010) .
    I dont see that option in my bootcamp it says remove Windows 7 .
    Its not even showing install option for windows 7 , please let me know how to remove xp and install Windows 7.

    Two   methods:
    Boot Camp Assistant - after you deal with how Yosemite messed up the partition table for Windows;
    Clone or backup and boot from the other drive - clone or TimeMachine - then erase and restore.
    It modified and messed up Boot Camp partitions and needs some magic to get it to show again. PITA.  Due to how Yosemite handles Windows partition "Boot Camp" you probably have not been able to use it. You also can install Windows, then also use it in a VM and not have to dual boot unless you want - and you have the cpu resources and RAM for both OS's, after you have your new Boot Camp setup with Windows and working. Make sure to allocate enough, generally at least 60 if not 80GB of storage - and leave enough for Mac OS as well.
    Paragon Software's CampTuneX can redistribute space between OS X (HFS+) and Windows "(NTFS) partitions too. And I know they are quick to update to Yosemite, don't know if they have helped in addressing the problem like you are seeing.
    You should have asked on Windows support Community under "Boot Camp" btw.
    Boot Camp
    Once you have Yosemite back to a single HFS+ partition (user partition anyway) you can then use BCA to create a Windows partition to install Windows 7.

  • HOW DO I UNINSTALL WINDOWS 8.1 PREVIEW FROM MACBOOK PRO (SNOW LEOPARD)... CAN NOT FIND README FILE FOR WINDOWS PREVIEW. PLEASE HELP

    how can i uninstall windows 8.1 preview from my macbook pro?? ive looked for over an hour for the readme file for the windows 8.1 preview and have had no luck. ive done almost everything i can think of at the moment and nothing is working. somebody please help, thanks

    Windows 8.1 Preview cannot be uninstalled. However, if what you want is to remove Windows completely, start up in OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to remove the Windows partition.
    If what you want is to install the final Windows 8.1 version, read this Microsoft support article > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-preview

  • How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

    How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

    So you are using OS 10.7.2?
    You have two options: You can reveal the folders permanently from the Terminal:
    Start the Terminal.app from Applications -> Utilities, then enter:
          sudo  chflags nohidden /Library; open /Library               press return
    to make the System Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder,
    and
           chflags nohidden ~/Library; open ~/Library        
    to make the User Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder.
    The "sudo" prefix makes you do the command authorized as Administrator. You will have to enter your admin password. Be careful when using this. Read any command twice to be sure you do not enter any wrong commands.
    If you want to leave the libraries hidden,and only open them in the Finder, use the Finder "Go" menu.
    To show the User Library:
    Finder menu -> Go     hold down the opt-key, till the Library appears in the drop down menu, select it
    To show the System Library:
    Finder menu -> Go  -> Go to Folder
    enter      /Library        press return.
    To hide the libraries again, if you prefer this, enter
         chflags hidden ~/Library
    and
         chflags hidden /Library
    in the Terminal window.
    Good Luck     and Happy New Year!

  • How do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

    I recently switch to Apple. can someone tell me how to how do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

    As mecklists indicated, just removing the "icon" from the Application folder is all you need to do in most cases (this is THE beating argument for OS X in my mind compared to Windows with its complex uninstallers; and then still having dozens of registry entries and files spread over the entire harddisk).
    However if you want to get sure that any and all files have been removed, you may look at /Library/Application Support folders available under your user's home and the startup volume's home directory.
    You may simply look for files and folders that are related to the software you have deleted. Anyway, be careful doing so. Not that you mistakenly remove files associated with other applications.

    how can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition?  white unibody late 2009.  i cannot seem to find bootcamp either :/

    Open the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and use it to restore the drive to a single partition setup. If it's not there, use Pacifist to extract it from your install DVD and run the combo updater for your OS version.
