How to uninstall difficult software?

I accidentally installed RegClean Pro when it popped up during a different installation and I didn't look carefully.  Now I can't get the **** thing off my computer, because I can't find the original files - they don't show up in applications or in finder.  Help!

  • How to uninstall a software in mac os x 10.8

    how to uninstall a software in mac os x 10.8

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    In Mac OS X, it's easy to uninstall apps. Most of the apps can be uninstalled just dragging them to the Trash. However, some apps come with an uninstaller, and in this case, you have to use the uninstaller. That's because some apps have got files in other folders, and if you just drag the app to the Trash, these files will stay there and they will take space

  • How to uninstall unwanted software, get consistent internet?

    Trying to work with an older g3 ibook (v 2.2, 800 mhz, SDRAM 512, OS X.2.8, built in ethernet, no firewire), not very familiar with macs. How do I uninstall unwanted software?
    On PCs, there are system restore options or launchable uninstall files. Can't find out how to get rid of a d-link driver. (Did not work at all for me)
    Had trouble connecting to the nternet over ethernet before the d-link driver installation, too. Worked for a bit, restarted, then didn't want to work (now an another computer). This ibook has had other internet connection problems associated with it (previous user complaints).
    Thanks for any help!

    The iBook does have a FireWire port.
    To uninstall an unwanted d-link driver, drag it to the trash and empty the trash.
    You may want to download the iBook (Dual USB) Multilingual User's Guide (Manual) to help you figure things out. (Clicking on the link downloads the PDF.)
    Mac 101 and Switch 101 may provide some helpful tips, too. Although written for the current OS (OS X 10.4), many of the concepts are the same.
    Although written specifically for OS X 10.3, the Apple Knowledge Base article Getting connected with Mac OS X may offer some specific advice for you, since the basics are the same.
    Good luck, and let us know how things go.

  • How to uninstall the software

    I tried the trial version, liked it, bought the hard copy.  Can't just put the serial number on.  I called said I had to install it again from the disk....but I could not do it it keep giving me a window........saying : Critical errors were found in setup - Incompatible payloads already installed Please see the Setup log file for details.
    I trashed the trial version completely, but still not working, just could not pass this stage.  Called Adobe many times, each time transfer me from one person to another, each time waiting for at lease 40 minutes............very frustrated.  Almost thinking forget about this software, give me my money back.  Last request.......HELP.......I don't have those software call Clean Sweep to uninstall the software, it doesn't seem right I have to get another software to install this one.

    Yes, I have Mac OS 10.5.6 and
    I went to Application - Utility and put the following in memory stick then trash it.
    Adobe Installers _not thing in the folder
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Icon
    Adobe Utilities - 2 folders in there  ..Adobe Updater5  and ExtenScript Toolkit2
    Not thing in there that I could uninstall the software.
    After 45 minutes on the waiting the customer services transfer me to "highly trained tech support" and
    I am on the phone after 2 hours still waiting someone to help me............
    I did go to the website you had on the link. nothing there helps me.

  • How to uninstall downloaded software

    how to uninstall downloaded software

    Yes, I use it frequently. I'm careful to look at what it's 'zapping,' though. I've never had a problem with it bringing up things that should not be deleted. In my opinion, it's a nice little app... much better than finding associated files than something such as the dreaded MacKeeper, for instance.
    Just my opinion - but it works for me quite well.

  • How to uninstall application software??

    Hi Guys,
    When a application is installed into Mac. successfully.
    But now, I want to uninstalled the application, how can
    I do? The application software no uninstall program.
    Thanks.

    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. Most applications create preference files which 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 located 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.
    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.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

  • How to uninstall/delete software not installed through Pacman.

    I tried to search for an answer, with limited success. I have installed some stuff from external sources using various installers. In particular, I installed some stuff from Humble Bundle which, if I recall correctly, used this automated installer called Nixstaller, which I thought would register the packages in Pacman. And when I look at the website, it says that if it fails to register the software in the package manager, it will generate an uninstall script. I installed e.g. Torchlight in /usr/local/games, but there is no uninstall script to be found there, or in the generated folder in /home. Neither does it seem to be registered in Pacman. So how do I get rid of it? Is there a way to uninstall it, or would I have to remove everything manually? If I have to remove it manually, how do I know where everything is located? I assume the installation isn't necessarily limited to the /usr/local/games folder I picked and /home, so how would I go about getting rid of it all?

    Not to my knowledge.  You can ask pacman to show you ALL files not owned by a package and then begin to manually delete ones you feel do not belong.  Note that you should NOT just blindly start removing these!
    Here is ~/bin/pacman-disowned that I got from here; can't remember who authored it.
    #!/bin/sh
    tmp=${TMPDIR-/tmp}/pacman-disowned-$UID-$$
    db=$tmp/db
    fs=$tmp/fs
    mkdir "$tmp"
    trap 'rm -rf "$tmp"' EXIT
    pacman -Qlq | sort -u > "$db"
    find /bin /etc /lib /sbin /usr \
    ! -name lost+found \
    \( -type d -printf '%p/\n' -o -print \) | sort > "$fs"
    comm -23 "$fs" "$db"|less

  • How to uninstall client software(oracle)

    Remove the client software using OUI, then reboot the client, and once the client comes up remove any occurrences of ORACLE folder in the drives and also remove C:\Program Files\Oracle folder if that is not already removed by OUI.
    In normal case, OUI removes registry entries also.That has not been my experience. I always end up having to manually remove registry entries (HKLM\software\oracle) and files/directories.

  • How to uninstall last software update??

    Since your upgrade to the newest software, I have a lot of problems. It's more "missing options" than problems. The silence option disabling data, no option to open contacts during a calk, only if going to menu and contacts, and in contacts additional window appears, so if I need Favorites, I need to go over the general window. The only 1 good thing in this update it's the camera. All the rest did awful experience of using sony.

    I support this.
    Much people have A LOT troubles with Lollipop. Not only bugs-n-lags but interface itself is user unfriendly.
    And most of this peoples isn't experienced enough to do mentoned "geek procedures", and/or have no time for study them.
    So they just blaming SONY and bying new phone. Throwing away or trying to sell their old Xperia Z*/compacts.
    In fact, there is MUCH Xperias on local second-hand goods markets after the last update. If in January most ads was "bying SONY", now it's "selling my xperia". Some trying to sell 3-month old devices for the less than half of the price.
    I find it's totally abnormal.

  • How to uninstall Linksys software / undo changes made by setup CD?

    I just installed the WRT54GL router for use with my Dell laptop.  I tried (twice) to install using the provided Linksys Setup Wizard CD-ROM, esp. since the documentation was adamant that you *MUST* run the CD-ROM before attempting to use the router.  Unfortunately, the install program hung on me twice (each time at the point you enter the router password), so I ended up configuring the router manually.  (BTW - your help files on setting up the router for DSL were not correct for me; since the SBC DSL modem does the logon, I had to setup up the router as DHCP, not as PPoE as documented.) 
    After setting up the WRT54GL, the installed Intel 3945ABG Pro/Wireless software now would not start immediately after logging on to the laptop, but instead now had a delay of 3 minutes or so before attempting to connect.  In addition several Yahoo Widgets apps that had worked fine before (with a borrowed Netgear wireless router) could no longer access the internet.
    Yesterday I used Windows Restore to go back to a restore point prior to me running the Setup CD-ROM.  This resolved the Intel Pro/Wireless delay, but I am still unable to get Yahoo Widgets to work.
    So - I need help to (1) undo the damage that the Setup CD did to my wireless configuration (not clear if this includes removing any SW), and/or (2) determine my Yahoo Widgets cannot connect to the internet, when it worked fine with my previous Netgear router and the same DSL line.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Oh, PLEASE IGNORE the line:
    deleted everything under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\SYSTEM (folders 0000 to 0004)
    That was left there inadvertedly. Can't seem to find the edit button here...
