Uninstall CrashPlan Home

There’s more to uninstalling CrashPlan than just deleting the app. It has its own uninstaller, which is much better to use. To find the uninstaller:

 

1. Open Finder.


2. Press Command + Shift + G.


3. In the dialog box that appears, copy and paste the following. If CrashPlan is installed for everyone: /Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/Uninstall.app. If CrashPlan is installed per user:  /Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/Uninstall.app.


4. Click Go.


5. Double-click the Uninstall app in Finder, and follow the on-screen prompts.

For more information, CrashPlan has a page called Consumer Next Steps.
