[QUOTE="simonvee, post: 1555549, member: 316202"] To McBie: "If you installed an app using an installer, then use the same installer to un-install that app ( and not just simply dragging it into the trash, leaving all sorts of files behind.)" There are several programs that I have installed using an 'installer' which does not have its 'uninstall' file/program to carry out it's individual uninstallation. To name an example, Firefox. Firefox possesses an installer dmg file which one must open to install. It does not encompass any other file/program/app that allows you to uninstall that specific file. From my understanding at the moment, 2) I can only drag it to trash or 2) use Appcleaner to uninstall Firefox [/QUOTE]
