Trying to remove Pando Media Booster with terminal... are these commands safe?

[MythicFrost]

Hey,

I'm trying to remove Pando Media Booster from my Mac running Mavericks. It won't uninstall manually and I can't really find all the files by searching.

I found a site recommending to use these commands in terminal, but naturally I wanted to check if they're safe, as I'm no expert in this regard:

sudo rm -fr /Library/Application\ Support/Media\ Booster/;
sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/MediaBooster.prefPane;
sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/PandoWebPlugin.plugin/

Would appreciate any help. (I intend to backup everything before I run them anyway, but would rather not have anything happen.)

Yep all clear.
sudo is to give you elevated privileges, rm is the remove command, -fr means force and recursive. and those directories are the panda media booster files.

Ah sweet, thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

You could just go to those locations yourself and try deleting the files too, but ya.

I did. I either couldn't find them or they weren't there.
