uninstall it. Now the finder tells me I don't have sufficient privileges to
empty the trash.</title>
<para>
- <application>Privoxy</application> 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:
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>
- cd ~
- cd .Trash
- sudo rm -rf Privoxy</screen>
- </para>
+ Just dragging the <application>Privoxy</application> folder to the trash is
+ not enough to delete it. <application>Privoxy</application> supplies an
+ <application>uninstall.command</application> file that takes care of
+ these details. Open the trash, drag the <application>uninstall.command>
+ file out of the trash and double-click on it. You will be prompted for
+ confirmation and the administration password.
+ </para>
<para>
The trash may still appear full after this command; emptying the trash
from the desktop should make it appear empty again.
</para>
- <warning>
- <para>
- Be extra-sure to enter the commands <emphasis>EXACTLY</emphasis> as shown
- above. Removing files recusively with administrator priviledges (as happens
- with <literal>sudo rm -rf</literal> is serious business and even small
- typos can have devasting effects!
