Removing Flavours files

I tried an older version of Flavours on Yosemite back in January.  When I removed it, since it wouldn't work, the files & folders listed at the end of this post were left behind.

Can I delete them all?

Are there any other files or folders that I should delete?

/Users/rossgoldberg/Library/Application Support/Flavours
/Users/rossgoldberg/Library/Application Support/Flavours/My Flavours
/Users/rossgoldberg/Library/Preferences/net.interacto.Flavours.plist
/Users/rossgoldberg/Library/Saved Application State/net.interacto.Flavours.savedState
/usr/local/lib/libflavours.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libflavoursui.dylib

  Hi Ross,

  Can I suggest you to try the Sneak Peek version of Flavours 2? When launching Flavours 2 for the first time, it should detect the "/Library/Application Support/Flavours" folder, and automatically uninstall previous Flavours 1 (now "Flavours Classic") installation. You can then uninstall Flavours 2 using the uninstaller from the Flavours menu.

  If you do not wish to try Flavours 2, you can use the Troubleshooter to uninstall old Flavours:

  1. Download the Troubleshooter.app.
  2. Launch the downloaded application, select "Uninstall Flavours", "Remove all related data" and click "Go!"
  3. Restart or logout your Mac

   

  Hope this helps!

   

  Best regards,

  Nuno

  Thanks for the troubleshooter.

  It removed the first three items, but left the last three items, and added the following directory:

  ~/Library/Saved Application State/net.interacto.Troubleshooter.savedState

  I should be able to run the following without any issues, right?

  sudo rm -f ~/Library/Saved Application State/net.interacto.*

  Also, I assume that I can also run the following without an issues, right?

  sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libflavours*

  The two matching files are from Flavours, and no other programs use them if Flavours is not installed, right?

  The troubleshooter should probably remove them.

  Thanks.

  One last question:

  The following file isn't from Flavours, right?

  /usr/local/lib/libecomlodr.dylib 

  I think it's from Symantec Norton software, but I figured I'd check if was Flavours, just in case/

  No - the only .dylib files used  have "libflavours" prefix.

  Thanks,

  Nuno
