Uninstall iterm2 for good (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de to c/macos@lemmy.world
 

Hi,

I'm trying to uninstall iterm2. I installed it via the installer from their webpage and tried to uninstall it by putting the application in the bin as usual. But it keeps reappearing. I also tried removing remaining files: "~/Library/Application Support/iTerm", "~/Library/Application Support/iTerm2", "~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.googlecode.iterm2.sfl*", "~/Library/Caches/com.googlecode.iterm2", "~/Library/Cookies/com.googlecode.iterm2.binarycookies", "~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist", "~/Library/Saved Application State/com.googlecode.iterm2.savedState",

Still, iterm will pop up as soon as I start my mac. What is this shit? How can I get rid of it?

Answer: "This shit" is my stupid brain. I forgot I reinstalled iterm after my employer introduced a managed software center. It was the only app I installed via msc myself and thus did not think of it at first.

It's been a year since installment. ~~I just got the whatever-it-installs from the iterm download page. I really don't know what it asked me to do.~~

I have been wrong. I once installed it via the website, but since my employer introduced a managed software center, I uninstalled and reinstalled it via the MSC โ€“ and that kept reinstalling iterm.
