Quillz Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I used to have an application called OmniOutliner Pro. I don't use it anymore, but it still leaves behind a context menu entry in Safari: Is there an easy way to get rid of this entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted October 30, 2009 Supervisor Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just a guess, but try the Internet Plug-Ins folder in /Library and ~/Library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just a guess, but try the Internet Plug-Ins folder in /Library and ~/Library? This seemed to work. I looked in both folders and couldn't find anything related to OmniOutliner, but then I did a Spotlight search that looked in the system files, and I ended up deleting a couple of /Application Support folders and a com.preferences file. I then restarted Safari and now it's gone. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I would recommend using something like AppCleaner when deleting apps, as it ensures all files relating to the app is removed from your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppZapper is far better, sadly it isn't free and hasn't been updated in some time but it works fine for me, even on SL Better yet is the Maintenance tools in MacPilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Why is AppZapper "far better"? AppCleaner works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 AppCleaner has always worked fine here personally (even on 10.6). Can't see a reason really to spend money on a App that simply searches and removes files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it doesn't, because that's what I use all the time and it still leaves behind preferences files such as old context menu entries. It gets most of the preferences, but you still have to use Spotlight to delete them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i use AppZapper, it finds more stuff, the Verify Preferences tool in Macpilot im sure can be done by Terminal for free but im not a Terminal Kinda Guy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the application development is basically dead, as it hasn't been updated in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
