Hello Community… I have been doing a considerable amount of testing with RapidWeaver, Stacks and a few Themes. Now I would like to uninstall everything and do a fresh install of only the RW Application, Themes and Stacks I have decided upon.
What is the proper method for doing a total uninstall of RapidWeaver, Themes and Stacks?
Hello Again… Would truly value input from RapidWeaver or someone who knows how to do this. I need to do a fresh install of all newly purchased RapidWeaver, Stacks and Themes and want to be sure I am starting fresh.
If you want to remove RapidWeaver, and all addons, you can:
Move the RapidWeaver.app file to the Trash.
Locate the ~/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver6 folder and move that to the Trash.
If you do #2, you must immediately restart your Mac.
Seriously: you must restart your Mac - the Container folder is managed by the system and you will be unable to re-enter your serial numbers when you reinstall RapidWeaver.
Assuming you’ve restarted your Mac in #3, launch RW and start afresh.
Note: I know I’ve repeated myself a few times about the restarting of your Mac when removing the RapidWeaver container folder. But you absolutely must in order for OS X to recreate that location when you relaunch a fresh download of RapidWeaver.
Many Thanks… I will give this a go. Also thanks for emphasizing the restart step, something I usually do anyway but do appreciate you pointing that out.
What do I need to do and where to look, if I want to get rid of all the remnants of older versions of RW and files left behind it in the OS? By older versions I mean pre-RW6.
