How to remove application completely?

Hello!
I've just found some leftovers of an application I thought I have uninstalled. I tried to delete everything connected to the Cloud application I've had installed, including everything linked to it in the Library/SystemPreferences, but this is still here: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s287/sh/22ae3d46-5b47-4625-9f7d-59e6da55e42f/5947 b284f2dab2fb5fed7cde49c924f2
It's in the System Preferences - Users & Groups.

Select the item in that list then click on the Delete [-] button.
For future reference:
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, EasyFind, instead.
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:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
  10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • How to remove applications completely?

    I went to applications list and removed msn and yahoo messenger. AND I deleted the service books, restarted the phone and those icons are still there in my app list, and they work. How do I completely delete an unwanted application? Buggers won't go away. lol
    thank you,
    Didan
    Edited to add additional info: The apps I deleted on the advanced options app list are not listed in the applications list anymore, but the icons are still on the desktop and they work. Just wanted to clarify.
    Message Edited by didan on 12-20-2008 09:15 AM

    Go to Options > Advanced > Applications. Are they listed there? If so, delete.
    If not listed there, then they are not installed and all you see is an install shortcut, which is no big deal. Hide them.

  • How to remove applications from "Selected applications" list?

    I know how to delete applications from my iPhone 3G. I also understand that when I sync they will get restored on my phone if I have "Sync applications" checked and I choose the "All applications" radio button. If I want applications to "stay deleted," I need to choose the "Selected applications" radio button and make sure the ones I want to stay gone are un-checked.
    How do I "fully delete" an application, so it is both (a) no longer on my phone and (b) no longer in the "selected applications" list?
    Thanks!

    Simple go to where it has your applications in the Application menu (not tab in iPhone sync options, but the menu on left) and delete it from there.
    Say keep file when it asks if you want to delete it from your hard-drive if you at least want to keep it on your drive.
    In summary, just remove it from iTunes but keep the file. Or if you want to fully get rid of it, let it delete it from drive too. Remember, you can always re-download and even if you paid for it, it will discover you already bought it and say you can re-download for free.

  • How to remove application from Open With?

    Hi,
    I added by accident a wrong application to a file type in Finder. Now I would like to remove this entry from the files Open With list. How could this be done?
    Thanks and best regards
    Ralph

    Is it just that specific document you want to open with another application or is it all documents of the same format?
    #1 Hold down Ctrl key and choose Open with. Choose the application you want to open the document with. IF you want to always open this one document with another app then the pre-chosen one hold down both the CTRl and the Option key and choose application.
    #2 When you want a certain format of documents to open with another application, let us say all .rtf should open with Pages instead of Textedit, select one rtf document and use Command (apple) key and I to get the information window for this document. Somewhere in the middle you can choose with which app. to open this document with and right beneath there is another button that gives you the opportunity to open all document of the same format with the same application.
    Pardon my Swenglish, but I hope you are helped by this!

  • Evernote: How to remove it completely?

    Hey all, I need to remove Evernote from my Mac and re-install it because Evernote isn't working so well.
    How can I completely remove Evernote? I saw someone recommend 'AppDelete' and another app, but how can I trust these apps? Is there an app I could download from the MacApp Store?

    From the context of your questions I surmise you want to know not just how to delete the Evernote app from your Mac, but also how to delete all your information from Evernote's records. Assuming that is correct, first log in to your Evernote account and erase all your notes. Then, delete the Evernote app according to Apple's instructions for uninstalling apps.
    Although you can deactivate an Evernote account, I don't believe there is a way to permanently delete an account without intervention from their customer support. Merely erasing all your notes from Evernote should accomplish what you seek though.
    I saw someone recommend 'AppDelete' and another app, but how can I trust these apps?
    You don't. They are unreliable in general. None of them are necessary, and some of them (not App Store programs though) are harmful and will corrupt your Mac.

  • (266436851) Q: WWSD-28 How to remove applications?

    Q:<WWSD-28> Can applications be undeployed AND removed (ie. deleted) with the console
    in WLS 6.1 or do you still need to edit the domains config.xml file manually?
    A<WWSD-28> Applications can be undeployed from the console but this does not necessarily
    remove the entry in the config.xml (other servers in the domain may still need
    them). The simplest way to ensure removal is to undeploy and then also delete
    the appropriate archive file (EAR,WAR,JAR) from the applications folder.

    Was looking in the wrong Library, found SIMBL, and removed ZZafari.
    ZZafari was installed by CosmoPod. Here's what CosmoPod's creators say (http://cocoamug.com/cosmopod/):
    Important note about CosmoPod and Safari 5.1 
    The current version of CosmoPod is not compatible with the latest Safari 5.1. We are working on a fix and we will provide a free upgrade when it's ready. Thanks for your patience.
    To uninstall CosmoPod, you can delete the following folder (quit Safari first) : /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CosmoPod.bundle.

  • How to remove en completely newly install a game app

    Hi,
    I was playing a game, but i want to delete it and reinstall to start all over again from the start.
    I did al the things on this site discussions (hiding, removing etc.), but to no avail.
    In the store to download the app there's allways the 'cloud' icon, and then the game starts were I left off.
    But I want to start all over again...
    Anyway this can be done?
    Thanks!
    Lex

    There's some confusion going on here.
    Although you can always re-download the game from the "cloud" (the AppStore), that maybe seperate to your saved game progress.
    Different developers use different methods for saving game progress. Some save it within the app itself on the device. In this case, deleting the game will also delete the game progress.
    Some developers store saved game progress on the Internet somewhere (either their own servers, Facebook, or perhaps in Apple's iCloud) so progress can be synced between multiple devices/platforms. In this case deleting the game app won't delete your game progress.
    If you tell us what game you are referring to, maybe someone will know how to delete your game progress.

  • How to remove the complete ALE configuration for a given system

    Hello everybody,
    Through ALE ,data is transferred between a number of SAP systems and the necessary ALE setups are in place.
    Now,a particular SAP system,which used to be a receivor to the central SAP system,is to be retired.
    Hence,the associated ALE set up is to be completely removed from the central SAP system.
    Is the following sequence correct?If not and I have missed something,please enlighten me with the correct sequence.
    1.Removal of the receivor logical system  and its assignment to client ,through transaction SALE.
    2.Removal of partner profile, through transaction WE20.
    3.Removal of RFC destinations,through transaction SM59.
    4.Removal of transactional ports for the logical system,through transaction code WE21.
    5.Removal of Distribution model between the retiring system and the central SAP system.
          (a)Regarding distribution model,I have a question-if the distribution model is maintained such that it contains the linking relationships between the central system and several receivor systems(in addition to the one I wish to remove),then is it possible to remove only the desired linkage and not touch the rest?   
          (b)Through BD64,I have tried but I am able to delete only the entire distribution model  as a whole,while I would like to keep the distribution model and delete just one of the nodes,so as to cut  the connection between only central system and the retiring system.
    This is so because the other receivor systems are working fine,involving a lot of batchjobs and I am afraid that deleting the distribution model wholly will create unnecessary trouble.
    Any help will be appreciated.Thanks
    Papri

    HI Nicolas,
    I chatted with Rev-Trac support earlier today and here is what they have come back to me with.
    Assuming the change in question was carried out in the development  system. Changes to fields in tables should in most cases be captured in transports. Assuming it was a transportable change then go to the development system and execute transaction SE16 and query Rev-Trac table /RSC/T_MFM_4T filtering by TABLENAME.
    On executing the query you should see a list of transports involved with changes to the transport. You can then check to see if there is a recent transport associated with the change - if so then you can find out who created the transport by using standard SAP functionality."
    If you find this doesn't help, then please contact your Rev-Trac Administrator who can then log a support request on our support portal at www.xrsc.com
    Hope this helps, Rick

  • How-to remove application scope bean

    I've found the following snippets to get rid of a session bean (to have it removed / recreated):

         .createValueBinding( "#{yourBeanName}").setValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), null );snippet 2:

    Yeah, I've tried it and it's looking good.
