Post by Erin DalzellHow do I completely uninstall Freenet on Mac OS X 10.5.5?
Provided that you installed Freenet in the default directory, open a terminal (should be in /Apps/terminal.app IIRC)
In the terminal, type:
java -jar /Users/<your-username>/Freenet/Uninstaller/Uninstaler.jar
where <your-username> is your login name, and hit enter.
GUI way:
- Browse to your Freenet directory (default /Users/<your-username>/Freenet)
- In the freenet directory, you should find a folder called 'Uninstaller', and inside that folder there is a file called Uninstaller.jar, which is a Java executable: run it to completely uninstall Freenet. It also gives you an option to delete the Freenet direcotry itself.
Now, I don't remember if MacOSX lets you run .jar file double clicking on them, or maybe it gives you a 'run' option in the contest menu; anyway the point is that you have to run the Uninstaller.jar. If your OS goves you an 'extract' option, ignore it. You have to run the .jar as it is, not extract it.
Alternatively, if you for any reason can't run the Uninstaller.jar, you may simply delete the Freenet directory with all its content. All the Freenet stuff always stays in the Freenet directory, so deleting that directory will effectively uninstall everything.
Only if you have set Freenet to autostart when you start the computer, manually deleting the Freenet directory would leave the Freenet autostart command in place (there is surely an easy way to get rid of it but you'll have to wait for someone who actually know MacOSX to tell you how to do that).
Anyways, a command pointing to a non-existent file does no harm at all, the system would simply fail to locate the target and ignore the command.
