From: oes Just dragging the Privoxy is installed with root permissions.
- When you drag the Privoxy folder to the trash, the general user does not
- have (as the Finder says) sufficient privileges to delete it. Unfortunately,
- the finder does not offer a way to enter the administrator password in order
- to prove you do in fact own this computer. To fix this situation, open the
- Terminal application and carefully enter the following commands:
-
folder to the trash is
+ not enough to delete it. Privoxy supplies an
+ uninstall.command file that takes care of
+ these details. Open the trash, drag the uninstall.command
+ file out of the trash and double-click on it. You will be prompted for
+ confirmation and the administration password.
cd ~
- cd .Trash
- sudo rm -rf Privoxy
The trash may still appear full after this command; emptying the trash from the desktop should make it appear empty again.
Warning |
Be extra-sure to enter the commands EXACTLY as shown - above. Removing files recusively with administrator priviledges (as happens - with sudo rm -rf is serious business and even small - typos can have devasting effects! - |
