Remove Application - CrashPlan Pro

Heycoolaid! · Feb 20, 2013, 06:16 PM

Hello everyone, I may have a newby question here but here goes

The CrashPlan Pro application that was installed on the iMac I am using is locked and I am not finding success in removing/uninstalling it. (When I try to unlock the check box in the 'Get Info' pane the box repeatedly re-checks.)

I am logged in as ADMIN with the Master Password and have attempted to simply drag the icon to the trash- no success. I also tried to remove the application by using spotlight to locate all files/folders and was able to delete everything but the actual application.

I end up getting a message that states I don't have permission to delete the application... Pretty frustrating!

Thanks for any help on this.

What Mac OS X version do you use?

And Spotlight is not as effective as the built in search.

Best way to FULLY DELETE a program without the need of any additional, inefficient applications

Go to the Crashplan web site and download the software then open the dmg. As I recall it has an uninstaller there.
