Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick
It's best to forget about Windows if you are using the Mac. Just move what you don't want to the trash or use terminal to uninstall uncleanly. If you wish to use terminal I'm sure some one will advise you what to do as it's a unix language and I have had help using it. Kawal.

Re: Help Needed on Uninstalling An Application from my Mac Running Maverick
All you have to do is move it to the trash. The only thing you might want to do is turn off the thing that adds it to the status menus. I can't remember off hand what it's called. The only time you might need an uninstaller for an app is if it installed by means of an installer package. This will be a pkg file.
