kfitz Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 MAC: I want to uninstall CCleaner but I can't, a recent changes means it now runs as a background task always. If I go into MAC Activity Monitor and kill the CCleaner process it just instantly starts up again. I can't use the standard removal method as on a mac you can not uninstall an application when its "open". I did some search on the matter and nothing works, CCleaner just keeps restarting the process therefore keeps active therefore prevents removal to trash. I find this practice pretty invasive, not that it is any of my business who in product had this bright idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin MeganCCleaner Posted May 13 Admin Share Posted May 13 Hi @kfitz We're not yet certain of why this is happening as we're able to uninstall CCleaner Mac on our lab computers, without issue. Can you please see if you can uninstall the app using the following steps? Open Applications > right-click CCleaner > click "Show Package Contents" Expand the "Contents" folder > open the "Uninstaller" file Otherwise if this doesn't work either, please let me know as I'll be eager to ensure you are able to remove the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
