Removing Parallels program

I have Parallels Version 4 on my intel imac. I have all data backed up to a thumb drive. I want to remove the program and re-allocate the whole drive back to OS10.8.3
What are the proper/official steps to take to achieve this re-allocation? Are there any issues to be aware of?
Eric.

Parallels is a virtual machine software program. It only takes up a small amount of space on your os x partition. If you have a version of windows installed in a virtual machine that will take up some more space, more space then the parallels program. You can delete the virtual machine from the parallels virutal machine management screen or manually by locating it on your drive. It is probably in your Documents folder under your username.
Now if you used boot camp assistant to partition your mac hard drive and installed windows in that partition that is taking up much more space. To remove that run boot camp assistant again and you will have the option to remove the partition and put the space used back into the os x partition.

  • I want to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox but I can't uninstall it. Nothing happens when I click remove in program access and defaults and the helper.exe file in the firefox uninstall dir doesn't do anything either.

    I want to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox but I can't uninstall it. Nothing happens when I click remove in program access and defaults and the helper.exe file in the firefox uninstall dir doesn't do anything either.

    "program access and defaults" is not the place to remove programs in Windows. You need to go to the control panel and click on Add and Remove programs. For instructions on how to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    What application do you want to uninstall?
    On Mac, most of the applications are uninstalled just dragging them to the Trash. If an application comes with an uninstaller, use it instead to uninstall that application.
    Also, never use a cleaning app to uninstall an application. They can damage OS X, so the only option will be reinstall the operating system

  • How Do You Remove A Program In OS X v10.7 Lion

    How do I remove a program in OS X v10.7 Lion? I tried to click the X on the top left corner of the icon but there was no X. The program came with something to uninstall it. I also tried that and reset my computer but that did not work.

    If it is in /Applications just select it and ⌘-Delete.If that doesn't work, try AppCleaner or AppZapper.
    EDIT: If you mean only the alias in the Dock remains just drag it off the Dock and "poof" it.

    before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
    if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.
    SELECT  AEBELN ALIFNR AKNUMV BVGABE BEBELP BGJAHR B~BELNR
            FROM  EKKO AS A
            INNER JOIN EKBE  AS B ON  BEBELN = AEBELN
            INTO  CORRESPONDING
            FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB WHERE B~VGABE = '2'.
    if itab[] is not initial.
       SELECT EKPOEBELN EKPOMATNR EKPOTXZ01 EKPOWERKS EKPO~NETWR

    Hi, I accidently removed the program creative cloud from my computer, were can I find and download the program again?

    Hi Hans-Günter,
    Thank you for answering!
    Unfortunatley I still can't find were I download the program. Following your suggested link I get to the window below.
    When I click the "Creative Cloud" Icon it  takes me to a new page.
    On that page see below there are a lot of programs like Photoshop etc. but there is NO icon for Creative Cloud.
    It looks the same when I log in. Any suggestions?
    Next page:
    Thank you,

  • I cannot install the latest version of itunes as I have old versions of bonjour and quicktime. I can't remove these programs either. Help please as I have tried almost everything I have found so far on the the web.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
