Paul Daunno Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Now that I've purchased Accordance I want to uninstall the demo to prepare for installing the "real" one. What is the proper procedure for doing this? -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You can simply remove the Accordance demo folder from Applications, and the Accordance demo Preferences from user/Library/Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Helen. I believe I've found everything and moved it to Trash and also rebooted. I can't wait to install the full version later today. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchgreen Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is the above still accurate for a complete uninstall? I'm trying to put the user files in a non default location. I figured an uninstall/reinstall might be a clean way to go about it. I've done the above described uninstall, including deleting the OakTree preferences files, and have used AppTrap as well. Still, on a reinstall the Workspace dropdown list still shows a workspace I defined earlier, though It can't find the file if selected. Clearly I've failed to remove something. How do I remove everything from the original installation? -Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 HI Jack, in a standard install there are four places you need to go... the Accordance application in your /Applications folder the Accordance Files folder at /user folder/Documents/Accordance Files The Accordance folder at /user folder/Library/Application Support/Accordance and the Accordance Preferences folder at /user folder/Library/Preferences/Accordance\ Preferences You can access the user library area by holding down the option key when you click on the "Go" menu in the Finder Be careful about non--standard installations. It makes it harder to debug issues. What do you want to do and why? (if I may ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchgreen Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Be careful about non--standard installations. It makes it harder to debug issues. What do you want to do and why? (if I may ask) Thanks Ken: For many years I've localized all critical files, like documents, databases, images, etc. within a single large backup folder which itself contains various smaller folders. As long as I have that single folder backed up I know that if something happens to my computer I can get back where where I started by reinstalling programs. Over time those files, even separated from the program files, get to be significant in size. Still, though my backup folder is now 20 gigs, I know that if I have a current backup of it I can afford to lose everything else. This technique was much easier on a PC than it is on a Mac. I've found Apple likes to hide folders and distribute a given program's files widely throughout the software. Your excellent list of all the files that have to be deleted is a good example. Another I've found is the common complaint of PC users being frustrated with the obscure way iPhoto hides image file folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
