Parity-ethereum: How to Uninstall on Mac

Created on 3 Jul 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: openethereum/parity-ethereum

I tried running the uninstall script found on the net but it seems to be dated.

I get this error:

/var/root/Library/LaunchAgents/io.parity.ethereum.plist: No such file or directory

How can I stop the service and uninstall it?

If you used the installer just move Parity Ethereum app to trash. Use the menubar icon to stop.
Additionally, if you want to delete blockchain data and your account keys:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/io.parity.ethereum/

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/io.parity.ethereum/

Running rm -rf ~Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum and removing the Parity Ethereum application might not suffice.

I used rm -rf /usr/local/bin/parity ... there might be an uninstall script in the parity bin but I simply removed the folder directly.

This should stop the process from popping back up and reinitializing the blockchain sync process (which was eating up my hard drive )

@amanuelz91 the instructions above apply to parity installed via the installer.

the binary you observed was probably installed via homebrew.
