Want to uninstall X-Plane apps? Not able to find a way to uninstall X-Plane completely from your Mac Machine? Is your Mac machine giving error after manually uninstalling X-Plane application?

Uninstalling X-Plane in mac is just a different approach than in Windows OS. Windows OS provides a option to uninstall application or application manufactures provides uninstaller with the application. But in Mac OS X there is nothing like uninstall utility. To uninstall the X-Plane you simply need to drag & drop the X-Plane application bundles to trash, that's it. STOP this is not the end there is more to properly uninstalling the X-Plane from your machine.

X-Plane Bundles – The Application Bundle

Drag & Drop leaves the associated files of X-Plane application. Normally, it is thought that all the associated files of a application is saved in the one folder but it is not so. X-Plane supported files & preference files are saved in other location than the X-Plane Package folder. So you need to get all these files deleted manually. Deleting all the left overs of X-Plane is not that easy, you need to find all the location where X-Plane has saved the files. Some of the location where X-Plane would have saved the files are ~/Library/Preferences/[] ~/Library/Application Support/[]
