Finding and Uninstalling Software

[bowjest]

Can someone tell how to definitively find and remove software that has been installed on my MBP?

I've recently tried connecting to my father-in-law's network, but to no avail. The guy from BT did a remote desktop to my MBP via a Citrix app called BT-GoToAssist, which seemed to install a couple of things just prior to running.

Can anyone let me know how to find these and get rid of them? I don't like having things on my laptop that I don't use.

Thanks

Most application uninstallers, like CleanApp and AppZapper, are shareware. You might want to try AppTrap, which prompts you about deleting supporting files at the time that you drag an application to the Trash. Of course, if you've already trashed the app, it won't be of much help.

Relevant places to check for such files are the Application Support and Preferences folders in each Library.

A good Free app for finding and removing ALL traces of any application is "EasyFind"

I'll 2nd that. Make sure you check 'invisible files & folders' and 'ignore case'.

Find any File is somewhat better than EasyFind.

It will search as root if you press option while clicking the search button, faster too.
