TICKET ARCHIVE -> Uninstalling a Program

jessicabagwell - Oct 22, 2005 - 11:43 am

Hello,
I think I need to uninstall and reinstall my PowerCad program. However, I can't find the uninstall tool for it on my computer. How can I do it without the application? Is there a tool to uninstall any program on my Mac Powerbook G4? Thank you!

Hi Jessica

I don't have PowerCad so I can't check.

If the installer has a Custom to choose from, that's where an uninstaller would usually be.

If not, just drag the application to the trash.

Then look here;

user>library>preferences

There will most likely be a Preference (plist) file for it with powercad or engineeredsoftware in the name or something similiar.

Then look here;

user>library>application support

If anything related is in there, trash it.

Then look here;

user>documents

Do the same.

Then look in these folders for a .pkg for it and trash if there;

user>library>receipts

library>receipts

Hi Bob W.
Thank you- I also found something in my Library-Preferences-Powercad, but could not open due to something with quickbooks. Should I send to trash those too?

Thank you very much!

The file in Library>Preferences you can trash also.
