How to completely remove SafariBlock?

[Sunwalker]

Hi,

when uninstalling safariblock just by dragging SafariBlock folder in InputManagers to trash, it doesn't remove this program completely. Even deleting safariblockfilters.plist doesn't help. After reinstalling safariblock, the welcome screen of safariblock, that usually appears after first Safari start doesn't appear and old settings of safariblock are still active.

Another hint, that safariblock isn't entirely removed is: When trying to install v2.1 of safariblock, it says it can't install, because a newer version is already installed.

Does anybody know how to really completely remove safariblock (2.2r1)?

have you tried using something like appclean?

Yes, but since SafariBlock is not really a program, appcleaner doesn't recognize it.

search for "safariblock" &/or "safari block" in a Finder search with System files - included option added and you should find the Input Manager folder, a preference file and maybe an Application Support folder and a reciept. quit Safari and trash them.

Safariadblock is better. search for the RC2 download link on the forums.

I already did that and I just found the folder and one plist file.

I used AdBlock before SafariBlock, but AdBlock doesn't free up space of blocked ads. That's the advantage of SafariBlock.

Meanwhile I found out, that deleting com.apple.safari.plist deletes settings of safariblock, too.

Unfortunately, safariblock still isn't blocking anything at all...

From the SafariBlock manual:

Uninstallation:
1) Remove the SafariBlock folder from the InputManagers folder.
2) Restart Safari.

This is : /Library/InputManagers

I did that, as I wrote in my first posting… Doesn't remove everything.

Nevertheless, it's solved for me. I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and will never install SafariBlock again .
