Way2: Perform Manual Steps to Uninstall Spotflux

With a comprehensive uninstaller in hand, you will be free from any unsuccessful or incomplete uninstallation. But if you want to learn how to remove an app without 3rd party tool, we also list detailed steps to guide you through the manual removal.

First of all, if Spotflux is currently running, you should quit this app (and its background processes). Here we share three options to exit out of an app:

(1)Right click on Spotflux icon in Dock and choose Quit;
(2)Head to Spotflux menu at the top bar and choose Quit Spotflux;
(3)Launch Activity Monitor, select Spotflux (or the process pertaining to Spotflux) under Process Name, click X button on the upper left corner, and click Quit button.

Now you can proceed to uninstall Spotflux by the following steps:

• Open up Finder from the Dock, and click Applications on the sidebar.
• Locate Spotflux, right click its icon and choose Move to Trash.

• If prompted, enter the current admin password to allow this change.
• Head to Finder menu, choose Empty Trash, and click Empty Trash again. Alternative, right click Trash icon in dock, choose Empty Trash and click OK in pop-up dialog.

Note that emptying Trash is irrevocable and everything in the Trash will be deleted from your Mac immediately. You’d better review your Trash before emptying it.

Additionally, if you install an app via Mac App Store, you can take this way as well:

• Search for the app you wanna delete in the Launchpad.
• Hold down its icon until it begins to show X on the upper left corner.
• Click the X icon and click Delete in the confirmation dialog.

As soon as you click the X, the uninstallation will be handled immediately.

Don’t forget to Delete Spotflux Leftovers…

Uninstalling apps on Mac is quite simple and intuitive if you are familiar with the process. But you should also know that, deleting an app through the Trash does not guarantee a 100% uninstall effect as some of the app components may still linger around your system. So to totally get rid of Spotflux, continue with the steps below:

• 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 Spotflux or the vendor in the following locations and then delete them: /Library, /Library/Caches, /Library/Preferences, /Library/Application Support, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, /Library/PreferencePanes, /Library/StartupItems

Warming: Mistakenly deleting items from Library might have influence on your other apps or even system, so make sure to verify the files before deleting them.

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 Spotflux in the Search Bar, and click on Library again.
•  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.

Finally, empty the Trash to permanently delete all Spotflux components.

So far you should have learned two different approaches to uninstall Spotflux for Mac. As we said before, both options have their own advantages, and you can pick up the one based on your demand to carry out the uninstallation. Using Osx Uninstaller avoids potential troubles and save your time in app removal tasks, but it requires a valid license to work perfectly. Encounter uninstall issues? Time to give it a try!
