PSE installation issues - How do you uninstall trial version???

I've read several posts about this already, but I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the trial version of PSE for mac. (I am getting the critical errors/incompatible payloads error message. Shame on Adobe for not fixing this yet.)
I read not to dump it into the trash. But when I launch the program from untilities I don't see any option to unintall. One post said to "remove it" How do you do this? The delete key doesn't work. How on earth do you uninstall something? I can't even get into the trial version because it keeps asking for a serial number (and I've read entering it doesn't help. I'm so lost, and really didn't plan on spending my hard earned Friday night doing this.) Any help would be much much appreciated!

There is no uninstaller. The only two icons in the Adobe Installer folder were something called Exented Scripts Installer and the Photoshop Elements icon. I got tired of messing around with it after several hours and finally ran the cleanscript 3 program which worked; I was able to install the purchased version right away. It still really bothers me that I could not figure out how to uninstall though, I'm sure I will need to in the future.
I wonder if my computer is just missing this installer/uninstaller option?

    How do you uninstall older versions of labview and all their components, registries etc?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

  • How do I uninstall trial versions of Adobe Products?

    I tried out some 30 day trial versions of Illustrator and InDesign (off the Adobe website).
    They've expired, there is no Uninstall Icon or instructions to uninstall anywhere within their respective application folders.
    Is it enough for me to simply trash all the program files?
    I didn't think it was, so I'm asking here first.

    Demos,.....Draging the folder to the trash would be enough. Although these apps. attach little things in other areas of your machine, they do no harm and take up almost no space. No need to fear.

    Simon,
    I did a few things that solved my problem. However there could be a bunch of reason for you to get this error
    For ex, Operating System Collector error or problem with the paging etc.
    Can you elaborate your problem with the following details:
    1. Your observations of the errors through the SAP Management Console
    2. Your machine OS and RAM details.
    3. Are you going in for a fresh installations? or did you uninstall CE before?
    May be I can help if you are facing the same issues, I did.
    Regards,
    Keerti

  • How do you uninstall in a Mac?

    Sorry, I am new with a Mac I only have experience with PCs.
    If you install a software and then decide that you do not want it. How do you uninstall it?
    Thank you!

    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 do you uninstall Windows 10 Dual Boot?

    Hello,
    I am running a dual boot installation of Winodws 8.1 and 10 Techical Preview, and I like to know how do you uninstall the Windows 10 from the dual boot scheme?  I think I've uninstalled previous beta versions of windows 8 by erasing the partition it
    was installed into and that was it.  Is this the correct way to remove window 10 too? Just asking, since the graphical version of the OS boot screen is present in this dual boot installation, does that change anything.

     Logon to your Win 8.1 > press the Win logo key and R key . You are now at Run window> at the Run box type diskmgmt.msc > OK
    You are now at Disk Management window > right click at the partition that house your Win 10 TP > click Delete Volume > the partition is now UNALLOCATED.
    At the left of it is your Win 8.1 partition. Yes ?
    If yes, right click at Win 8.1 partition > click Extend Volume > click Next > at Select the amount of space in MB, type in the maximum available space shown for the unallocated space in MB > Next >  Finish
    The space shrunk for Win 10 partition is now back to your Win 8.1

  • How do you uninstall lion; too many problems

    how do you uninstall lion; too many problems

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

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, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    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 also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
