Two Available Ways to Uninstall TripMode on Mac

As a paid app that charges $ 8,TripMode for Mac allows user to take control of the network traffic, like preventing apps from pumping data in the background. Does it work good on your Mac? If for any case this app doesn’t meet your requirements, you may consider to uninstall TripMode after the free trial is expired. Now read through this post to know how you can remove all components of TripMode on your Mac.

In the following we will go with four questions to help you better understand the key points in a clean uninstallation, and two different uninstall ways are listed as well.

Q 1: what to do before the uninstall?

Have you encountered the message saying that “TripMode can’t be moved to Trash because it’s open”? The fix is to shut down the active TripMode prior to the uninstall.

If TripMode is running, its icon will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, and you can quit this app by clicking the icon and choosing the gear icon > Quit.

We summarize available options to quit a running or frozen app in macOS/Mac OS X:

(1) Right click the app icon in the Dock, and choose the Quit option
(2) Click the app menu when it appears in the menu bar, and choose Quit [app name]
(3) Launch Activity Monitor, select the process pertaining to the target app, then click the X button on the upper left corner, and click (Force) Quit in the pop-up dialog
(4) Press Command – Option – ESC(Escape) to bring up the Force Quit Applications window, select the app you want to stop running, and click Force Quit button

What if the target app cannot be shut down by any of these options? Well, the last option is to reboot your Mac into Safe Mode, to kill the auto-launch of 3rd-party apps.

Additionally, if TripMode icon remains in Dock, right click on it and then choose Options > Remove from Dock, or just drag and drop it to the Trash icon on the right.

Q 2: how to uninstall TripMode for Mac?

After deactivating TripMode, you can go ahead to delete TripMode from the /Applications folder by trashing it. Here are the standard steps you can follow:

• Click Finder in Dock, and click Applications from the sidebar to open up the folder
• Locate TripMode, right click on its icon and choose Move to Trash. Alternatively, you can drag the app icon toward the Trash in Dock and drop it into the Trash

• Open up Trash, right click on TripMode, choose Delete Immediately, and click Delete button in the pop-up confirmation dialog. Alternatively, you can choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu, to delete anything thrown into Trash permanently

Note that the act of emptying the Trash is irrevocable, so make sure everything in Trash is useless before you empty the Trash. We still suggest you to delete TripMode alone in the Trash to avoid the risk of mistakenly deleting other files in the Trash.

Besides, there are two alternative ways of manually deleting a third-party app on Mac:

For some apps that come with a dedicated uninstaller, you can try to run the uninstaller in the installation file, or access the Uninstall option from the app menu and utilize the built-in uninstall script, to remove the app and other associated files.

For apps that are installed through Mac App Store, you can head to the Launchpad, press and hold the app icon until it starts to jiggle, and then click the X icon on the upper left corner of the icon. And you will be asked to confirm the deletion again.

Q 3: how to remove TripMode remnants?

You can end the uninstallation after deleting TripMode from the Applications folder. But if a clean, complete removal is what you are looking for, continue reading please.

Most third-party apps will create some associated files/folders and store them outside the app package. Those items will not be deleted along with the uninstallation of the app. As a result, you will need to hunt them down around the deep system directories.

Here are the steps to locate TripMode components hidden in your system:

• In an active Finder window, choose Go > Go to Folder from the Menu bar.

• Type ~/Library in the box, and hit Enter key to access to the hidden folder.

• Click Search in upper right corner of the window, type TripMode in the search bar
• Click Library under the search box, select the items that contain the keyword of TripMode in search result, right click on any of them, and choose Move to Trash

• Again, search for and delete TripMode-related items in the /Library folder

Here are the directories that may contain the components of TripMode:

Once you have deleted all items pertaining to TripMode, you can empty the Trash to permanently wipe out TripMode traces. However, it should be pointed out that, some files created by TripMode may not contain the title of the app or its vendor, so chances are that you may still miss out some of TripMode-related items in the system.
