Install and Un-Install

the fundamental principles:


• anything installed with drag-and-drop to the /Applications folder can be un-installed by Drag-and-drop to the Trash. After a restart, the Trash can be emptied.


• anything installed with a complex installer program requires the manufacturer's un-installer program. sometimes this is included as an "option" in the Installer package, but the software-maker's web site should specify how to un-install (if they don't, they get swamped with users clamoring for Un-install Instructions).


DO NOT use any other web site’s instructions, unless you have complete trust in that specific site to tell you the truth. Third-party un-installers could be malicious. The Classic case is malicious updaters for Flash Player.


• anything claiming to be an 'uninstaller helper' is just JUNK. (worse than web site click-bait)
