Opening Safari freezes OS 10.9

[Husky1992]

Is there a way to uninstall safari and re-install it on 10.9?
it stopped working, if I try to open it with my account it freezes all the system forcing me to reboot the mac , on the guest user it works fine

Then delete Safari's cache and preference files. It obviously is not because your Safari app bundle is faulty.

how do I do this without opening safari?

Use AppCleaner. Disable "protect default apps" in its preferences first and then drag Safari into it. Deselect Safari.app and delete everything else.

Ah but AppCleaner automates that process so why not use the app instead. It is a lot of trouble...
