An all-in-one uninstaller will save you a lot of time and avoid possible issues during the removal of unneeded apps or plugins. Yet if you persist to uninstall Snood Deluxe by your own, you could also follow the proper steps listed below to get the job done.
Step 1: Move Snood Deluxe to the Trash
Note that you should be logged into the Mac with an administrator account, and you might be asked for the password again during the manual uninstall process. Now, here’s how you can uninstall Snood Deluxe from the /Applications folder:
- Open up Finder from the Dock, and click Applications on the sidebar.
- Scroll through to select Snood Deluxe, then drag its icon and drop into the Trash.
- Alternatively, you can right click on the app icon and then choose Move to Trash.
- If prompted, enter the current admin account password to allow this change.
After that, you will need to empty the Trash to execute the uninstallation. To do so, right click on the Trash icon, and choose Empty Trash twice. Yet you can choose to perform this step after deleting all associated items by the following instructions.
Step 2. Delete related items from Library
Most Mac apps are bundle software that can be easily removed by aforementioned method. Yet some of them will create components like preference, cache and support files in different system directories during the first setup and daily usage. If you want to perform a clean uninstallation, it is necessary to delete all related components scattered around the system. Here’s how to clear up app remnants manually:
- Open the Finder, click the “Go” from the Menu Bar, and select Go to Folder…
- Type the path of the top level Library on hard disk: /Library, and hit Enter key.
- Search for the files or folders which contains the name of target app or the vendor in the following locations and delete the matched items: /Library, /Library/Caches, /Library/Preferences, /Library/Application Support, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/PreferencePanes, /Library/StartupItems
Warming: deleting the wrong items from Library could do harm to your other apps or even system, so make sure to be very careful what you try to delete. Meanwhile, it could be time-wasting going through each folder and searching for app leftovers. Luckily, you can make use of the Search in Finder to hunt down associated files.
- Go ahead to open up the user library inside home folder: ~/Library.
- Type the name of target app or its vendor in the Search Bar, and click on Library.
- Identify the matched items, right click on them and choose Move to Trash option.
If there are still some files you fail to locate or identify, do a web search about the app components. Besides, advanced users can utilize the Terminal (located in /Utilities folder) to list the contents of the directory in question and then delete offending items.
Step 3: Empty the Trash (with caution)
After moving all associated items to the Trash, you can carry out the last step – emptying the trash. Notice: the act is irrevocable, and everything in the Trash will be deleted immediately, so be very cautious when you are performing this part.
- Right click on the Trash icon in the dock.
- Choose Empty Trash and click OK in the pop-up dialog.
- Alternatively, empty the Trash by choosing Empty Trash under Finder menu.
- In any case you cannot empty the Trash, reboot your Mac and try it again.
Finally we’ve come to the end of uninstalling Snood Deluxe. Have you successfully removed this app as well as all its traces from your Mac? Which option listed above do you prefer to use?
