Little Snitch is a very excellent app favored by macOS users, and the latest version of Little Snitch is compatible with macOS Sierra that was released some time ago. To install it smoothly, first you should remove the old version of Little Snitch. But not all macOS users know how to completely remove Little Snitch. Most people drag and drop Little Snitch.app on the trash icon in the dock directly to remove Little Snitch, which is a wrong. Incorrect solution to remove Little Snitch will leave many leftover files. So how to correctly and completely remove Little Snitch? We will highlight several common removing solutions in the following sections.
1> Solution 1: Manually Removing Little Snitch
Manually Removing Little Snitch is a complicated thing, for you need to find its associated files/floders and delete them. Like configuration files, service programs, background programs， dynamic link libraries, log files, descriptive documents, framework files, cache files, driver files etc. So how to find these files/folders to delete? We will introduce two ways as below:
1.1> You can use a build-in command of macOS “find”. Its function is searching all files/folders on macOS. Moreover, the command owns powerful and flexible parameters that can enhance the searching capability. For example, typing following command line is able to find files/folders which are associated with Little Snitch.
sudo find / -name “*Little Snitch*”
And then wait patiently for about one or two minutes, all of the files/folders associated with xxx that you want to delete are listed on Terminal.
1.2> If you do not like to use command line, macOS also provides some graphical user interface (GUI) tools (e.g., Finder, Spotlight) for searching for you. These tools perform the same function as “find” command.
We can find all of the files/folders associated with xxx by two ways as above, and then use the “rm” command to remove them.
1.1 In Terminal, typing the “rm” command like this:
sudo rm -rf /Applistions/Little Snitch.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Applistion Support/Little Snitch
this will delete Little Snitch.app and Little Snitch. /error-launching-program-193-dev-c.html.
1.2 To delete special files, such as Kext files, you must use “kextunload” command to stop them befor use “rm” command to delete them.
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/kext files of Little Snitch
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Little Snitch.kext
1.3 Some files have enabled the locked attribute, so you can neither drag them to the Trash nor use the “rm” command to delete them. In such a case, you can disable locked attribute by command, which is as follows:
chflags -R nouchg /PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/WITH/LOCKED/FILES/
* chflags = change flags on files/folders such as “locked”
* -R = recursive or for everything and follow directories within the specified directory
* nouchg = means the file can be changed
* /PATH/ = of course is the path to the files you want to change.
By all accounts, manually removing Little Snitch is not appropriate to the most macOS users, because macOS will crash if you make mistakes in the course of manually removing Little Snitch. We usually recommend you to use Automatic Removal Tool.
2> Solution 2: Automatically Removing Little Snitch
macOS has a few professional automatic removal tools at the moment. And MacRemover still is your first choice, it has powerful removing function and easy operation.
2.1 Download and install MacRemover.
2.2 Launch MacRemover and select Little Snitch.app from the apps listview on the main interface of MacRemover.
2.3 Click “Run Analysis” button to analyze files/floders of Little Snitch.app.
2.4 Click “Complete Uninstall” button to delete all files/floders.
In order to perform its duty, Little Snitch needs to add components to a very low level of the operating system, which also need to be registered and unregistered with the system. It is therefore not sufficient to just remove all of Little Snitch’s application bundles. Instead, Little Snitch Uninstaller must be run.
Little Snitch Uninstaller
The easiest way to open the Little Snitch Uninstaller is to drag Little Snitch Configuration from the Applications folder to the trash. Little Snitch’s background processes notice this and automatically start the uninstaller that is located in /Library/Little Snitch/Little Snitch Uninstaller.app.
Alternatively, the Little Snitch Uninstaller can be found in the Little Snitch .dmg disk image file, next to the Installer. If you don’t have the disk image at hand, you can always download the current version from our website.
The uninstallation process itself is straight forward, with only one option to choose: Whether you want to remove your rules and settings or not. After the process is finished, you must restart your computer.
If you enable the option to remove rules and settings, the Uninstaller deletes all your system-wide configuration and rules files (also any files from older Little Snitch installations), including the file that stores your license information, as well as the configuration files, rules files and log files for the user executing the Uninstaller.
List of paths
