Uninstall iWork '09

[d21mike]

I installed the 30 day trial of iWork '09. If I decide to uninstall it do I just "Move to Trash" the folder from the Applications Folder. The folder has 3 Apps inside. I am new to the Mac. On Windows there is an uninstall option for most things. I did read the Guide to uninstall applications and I believe this is the method was not sure.

just drag the entire folder into the trash and empty welcome to the simple world of mac my friend! (Also if you want to be thorough you can install a program called AppCleaner which searches for other application files of the app in question and deletes them as well!
Happy Mac-ing!

Just delete to trash So simple! (1)

1. Disclaimer: If you want it fully uninstalled download a separate uninstaller

true but i think you get a 12 day trial or something then its like 14$ ...why pay when you can get AppCleaner for free?

If you have Snow Leopard, I find TrashMe to be an even better free alternative.

I use apptrap. There is no need to launch it in order to uninstall apps. Just drag to the trash and you get a dialogue.

Yes, AppCleaner and TrashMe also do that (albeit you must enable it first), but it will do the same thing.

For most apps, just dragging to the Trash is sufficient though there are likely preferences/plists left behind. Many of the third-party software-deletion apps will miss something.

iWork '09, especially in Snow Leopard, can be a problem. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.

I found by dragging the application to the trash, it deleted some elements of iWork08 that I still need, such as templates. So I can't use it.

Unfortunately, my discs are in storage. What to do? The trial is going to end and I've decided not to I upgrade my software until I get a new computer.

Also, ApZapper doesn't uninstall everything. I discovered this after using the app for almost a year
