How uninstall Mac Fan Control?

[Calby]

Hi,
I did install Mac Fan control to check out some things and I have set the fans on "auto" again now and I just want to uninstall it, I have been looking at the developers webpage but I could not find out how to uninstall it.

I can drag it to the trash but I know that it's still some leftovers in the system, files etc.
So any idé how I can track it down and delete the "trash files"?

Here is the application:

Drag it from the Applications folder into AppCleaner: https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/

That'll completely uninstall it and get rid of all related plist/startup files.

It unlikely that you will find anything in /Library but search through them just in case.

• /Library
• /Library/Application Support
  
• /Library/Preferences
• /Library/LaunchAgents
• /Library/LaunchDaemons
• /Library/PreferencePanes
• /Library/StartupItems

Your home Library will definitely have some stuff, so look through that folder.

• ~/Library
• ~/Library/Application Support
• ~/Library/LaunchAgents
• ~/Library/Preferences
• ~/Library/PreferencePanes
• ~/Library/StartupItems

I prefer using EasyFind instead of the Finder to search for stuff, its free and better imo

Thanks, EasyFind have not been updated sins 2014 is it still safe to use under Sierra?

I still use it, and to be honest, I hadn't realized it hadn't been updated for a while

Well I'm guessing it's good then, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the tip.

So just to make sure, I'm just trashing every file of the app, then I do a SMC reset just to bee sure that everything is normal.
That should do the trick right?

Yup, but like everything else, make sure you have a current backup

Thanks, but I don't use backup for the system - only on the files I might start using the external drive that I have attached in my router as a Time Machine backup I got that feature in the router.

It don't search files outside the user, so in system Library for a example the application don't show the files that are there.

It does, make sure you select the drive and not your home folder on the drop down box on the right hand side.
