Download Osx Uninstaller to Completely Remove Plex Media Player for Mac

There are a few questions about how to uninstall / remove Plex Media Player for Mac:

“A few months ago I downloaded “plex” to my MBP. I thought it was neat, but wasn’t something that I wanted on my primary machine. So, I threw away the Plex application. However, every time I restart my machine, “Plex Media Player ” opens up. Obviously it’s useless without “Plex,” so I just ignored it. Any suggestion about how to completely remove Plex Media Player from macOS?”

“I uninstalled the Plex app itself, which I had downloaded and installed, by clicking and dragging it from the App folder in finder to the trash. However, its ghost lives in this Plex Media Server thing. This remainder item shows up in my dock and opens each time and constantly runs and I can’t even remove it from the dock, let alone destroy it. So, I looked into how to exactly uninstall Plex Media Player for Mac, thanks a lot!!!”
