How to uninstall Torrents Time
#1
Can someone advise me how to uninstall Torrents Time on a Mac running OSX?

Once I installed it, I realized soon enough that it wasn't working.  More worrying was that I couldn't figure out where the files were actually installed on the computer; they didn't appear in the Applications folder, so where are they and how can they be identified for removal?

The Torrents Time website, which is about as unhelpful as it gets in terms of support, features a "Mac uninstaller" but nothing happened once I ran it.  As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing transparent about this shitty software.

The mac uninstaller is a shell script.  It doesn't download executable, so either you have to make it executable, or open a Terminal window, type sh followed by a space, and then drag the file into the terminal window to get the path to the script.  Hit return and it will do its magic. It will ask you for your account password to gain the necessary admin permissions to delete the installation.  If you aren't logged into an admin account, you will need to switch to one first.

If you did all this and it still did nothing, then it is because none of the files it deletes were found on your computer.

Below are what the script deletes - you can delete them yourself and restart your computer to accomplish what the script would do:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.torrents-time.helper.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.torrents-time.helper
/Library/Preferences/com.torrents-time.plist
/Library/Application Support/com.torrents-time
