Uninstall on macOS (13.5.1)

Uninstall on macOS (13.5.1)

[GFS]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1310 bytes --]

I installed pandoc (the package) then realised 30mins later that I don't 
need it.  I'm not a coder, but have tried uninstalling via the pandoc.org 
Documentation as proposed (uninstall-pandoc.pl). I found that I could run 
the script, if I saved it to my Desktop as a txt file, gave it the 
name: uninstall-pandoc.pl and entered the following command in Terminal:
perl ~/Desktop/uninstall-pandoc.pl

It threw some skipping errors and said that it had been successful.  
*However*.. when I looked in the folder that it had listed for deletion, I 
found that there were Pandoc files in them.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do, to completely delete the 
Pandoc package?

Here is a screen-grab of the Terminal as used + another showing 2 files 
left in place.  I don't know if there are more somewhere else.

Many thanks for any help.

I think that script is fairly old - but as a quick next step, could you 
try running it with:

sudo perl ~/Desktop/uninstall-pandoc.pl

If pandoc was installed using root permissions (and the installer will 
ask for your password, which means it does), than it will need those 
permissions to remove them.

Alternately, just remove those files.

Thank you for the reply Daniel.

I ran the script as you suggested and it returned that Pandoc was not 
installed.  So I guess it removed  some of the files.

However... I found another file in:
[image: pandoc-grab3.jpeg]

I've removed this too but, this file is not listed in the Terminal list of 
'Skipping' files.  So I'm wondering if there may be any other files that I 
haven't found?  Is there a list of installed files/folders anywhere?

That one may be either generated or installed by zsh itself, looks like. 
  It's not directly part of the installer.

The list of installed files is in the packgae manager - which is what 
the uninstall script uses to remove the files.  However, it then removes 
the list.  ;)  You could reinstall and then re-uninstall with sudo to 
make sure.  But none of that will remove preference files, generated 
templates, etc.

Also, as an option (that didn't exist when that script was written) 
there is a GUI Freeware app that can remove packages cleanly as well:
https://www.corecode.io/uninstallpkg/

Note all of this of course is for ~110MiB of disk space and a program 
that will never activate without manually being called.

Thank you Daniel.

I've had a good look and can't find anything else, so I think I'll leave it 
as is.

Again, thanks for your help.
