Iwant to get rid of Dropbox entirely from my Mac. I'm not a very advanced Mac user, and ordinarily apps can be uninstalled with ease, but not with Dropbox. I followed all the procedures according to this link but when I try to drag the Dropbox icon from the list of apps in Finder, a message comes up stating "The item 'Dropbox' cannot be moved to the Trash because some of its plugins are in use." I have no idea what this means - everything else was deleted successfully except this and the icon in Launchpad. Any assistance would be greatly provided.

* I would also uncheck "Start Dropbox on system startup", doing this will allow you to log out and back in if the initial uninstall attempt above doesn't work. After the log out and in, you should be able to remove the app with no issue.


I cannot delete dropbox.app, despite performing all these tasks. It is still causing my iMac to crash. Do you have any other suggestions to get rid the message that refers to plugins. Why does Dropbox have such strong tentacles on my machine. Maybe I need to find another cloud company, as I wonder the difficulty in deleting the program is a symptom of spying on me, liked an indestructible virus.


Robert, it worked and I was having plug-in issues as well. Unchecking Finder integration did the trick. I am not sure why Dropbox feels that this crucial information should be outsourced to a super user community member to provide and its own instructions are less than complete. I have finally become a paid user and now am having doubts if this is how it expects to support its customers. Thank you for posting this.


Nor, I would judge, is their documentation "less than complete" just because a vanishingly tiny number of users occasionally experience a little difficulty and need a helping hand. In point of fact, I can't replicate the uninstall issue you've experienced on any of my personal Mac systems. And, frankly, my inclination at this point is, it's a rare Finder issue rather than a Dropbox one, since it's Finder which is failing to unload the plugins as it should.


To clarify my outsource comment, why is this answered by a community user, and not part of the common documentation. Mac is a supported platform, and it may well likely be a Finder issue. Why is the fix to this answered by an external user (you, a great response) but not in the rest of the searches on their help.


What if there was no post by you, I would be dead in the water. That was what I meant by outsourced. Not that they are responsible for the problem but given its a problem, why is the resolution buried in one community side.


Has anyone ever had to uninstall a tool they installed via the yxi extension? I installed a tool that is a little buggy and I am having trouble uninstalling it as this field is quite new. I cannot find where in Alteryx the tool was actually installed, which is quite surprising as one would expect the tool to have a folder in the Program folder. I am trying to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling Alteryx itself.


Hi Folks,

I am having problem with running 3D viewer on Fiji and after reading some of the topics in the Forum related to this problem, I have decided to uninstall Fiji from my laptop. Can anyone tell me the steps to take to perform this task (uninstall fiji)? I am running windows 10.

Thanks in advance.


Thanks for responding and the reference. I need to provide additional information. At the moment, one of the host computers associated with my microscope has ImageJ installed. This is the computer from our camera manufacturer yet, I do not know whom setup ImageJ. I noticed the installation was in this directory yet, needed to update from 1.48v. This was the result of the migration from http: to https: so, I have overcome this issue by being referred to this thread:


1# Every time I attempt to use the Add/Remove feature it presents the following error: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program FIles\PlasticSCM5\uninstall.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." (In fact, at the moment it is stuck on that error and the only way I can fix it is by restarting my computer)


2# Plastic is constantly running in the background in the form of three processes on my Task Manager: One is Plastic SCM (taking up 12.1 MB), the second is Plastic SCM (named the same as the other, and taking up 3.6 MB), and the third is plasticd (taking up 38.1 MB). It seems that these processes running in the background prevent me from deleting Plastic's main folder on my computer, and no matter how many times I "end task them", they keep coming back up.


3# Is that Plastic's own uninstall application is not appearing to me as an application at all but a .dat file which seemingly cannot be read or launched by anything on my computer. (and yes, I have supposedly installed the shell executable or whatever it is called that comes optional with Plastic).


I have attempted to look up to see if others have had similar issues with the uninstall process, and I did come across one forum post in which an administrator by the name of Manu recommended installing Plastic again (presumably replacing the previous install) and then attempting to uninstall using the uninstall.exe, but as I stated, that's not working for me at all.


Next, launch an installer application for Plastic SCM and re-install Plastic SCM on your computer (making sure to tell it yes when it asks if you want to "replace your existing installed version of Plastic"). Then, the last part, do not agree to restart you computer after install. Instead, go immediately to your Plastic SCM's main folder again (where you installed it to), and you should now see the uninstaller as an application you can actually launch (or at least I did, and I have tested this method twice).


After it (hopefully) completes the uninstall process. Then you can agree to restart your computer, but only when promoted by the uninstaller application at finish. After that, there should be more no more Plastic processes running in the background of your task manager, and Plastic SCM should no longer appear on your computer as either an application to launch nor a program to uninstall in Add/Remove.


Probably the PlasticSCM5 folder will still be somewhere on your computer, but you can just find that in your C:\Program FIles\PlasticSCM5 (or wherever you installed it) and you should be able to safely delete that folder for extra measure.


probably this is a stupid question, but I am quite new in the Labview world and I have the following problem: I have installed on the same computer two version of Labview (2012 and 2012). Now, I want to uninstall of the two, but in Windows Control Panel there is just one "National Instrument-Software" income. If I proceed with this, will I uninstall both versions or will it ask me which of the two I want to delete?


probably this is a stupid question, but I am quite new in the Labview world and I have the following problem: I have installed on the same computer two version of Labview (2012 and 2012).


Double click the single entry for National Instruments and all the NI istalled software is listed (See screenshot attached) The versions are clearly identified and you can then pick which version to uninstall.


I'm experiencing the same problem, I have multiple version of Labview installed and would like to remove all except Labview 2012. However, the uninstall process hangs every time in the uninstall of Labview 7.1. This program, MSIBlast.exe, you can as well do with a PXI-1052 with PXI-8187 controller?


Have you only tried to uninstall this on the one machine that's failing at the moment, or have you tried the uninstall password on another test machine as well and found the issue is still present? If it's present across multiple machines I'd try creating a new uninstall password and make sure you don't include any nonstandard special characters, you might be running into an issue with proper escaping.


If it's just a single machine that you've been testing on so far, I'd just override the Uninstall entry. Go to the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect\Settings\' and set the Uninstall DWORD value to 0. This is equivalent to changing the option to 'Allow' and you can remove GlobalProtect at that time.


I am currently working on automating the installs and uninstalls for PTC Creo and Creo Help. So far the Creo programs were fairly simple to create xml files and also to silently uninstall using the provided bat scripts in the program InstallManager folder. This solved the issue of manually uninstalling each component and user interaction.


My problem with the the Creo HelpCenter piece. As with Creo, it was easy to create the xml files to silently install. I have hit a roadblock with the uninstall though. If I try to run the uninstall piece by piece (such as Simulate help) user interaction is required. I have checked and can't find parameters to have it run silently without user interaction. There is also no provided scripts to streamline the uninstall.


Does anyone know a workaround? One option could be a brute force deleting of the folder and registry entries but i would prefer not to do that unless necessary as i expect residual pieces outside of the Uninstall portion of the registry.


normally we simply delete the folders/installation manually. This is probably my best advice. However I think you should be able to run the command if you type it as sudo ./uninstall_CCSv5.bin (or whatever extension). Apologies as I do not have access to my Linux this morning.


Just installed a new I210-T1 NIC, downloaded 24.1 of the Windows 10 64 bit drivers. When I try to install it, it tells me that "The installed version of Intel(R) Connections is not supported for upgrades. You must uninstall it before installing this version".
