#REMOVE TIMEMACHINESCHEDULER APP MANUAL#

Just as with the manual instructions above, a reboot following this process is a good idea. Browse the list to make sure nothing important was incorrectly included and then press Zap! or Delete to remove the files. With these boxes unchecked, you’ll now be able to drag and drop the GarageBand.app file into the drop zone and see the various preference and support files that are associated with it. In AppZapper, uncheck the box “Keep Apple Applications Safe.” In AppCleaner, go to the General tab and uncheck the box “Protect Default Apps.” To temporarily disable this safeguard so that we can delete GarageBand, launch either app and go to its Preferences menu by clicking the app’s name in the Menu Bar and selecting Preferences. The apps’ developers didn’t want users to inadvertently try to delete key OS X apps like Finder and Safari, so they installed safeguards to “protect” Apple applications. There’s just a small bit of configuration that we must do first before we can use either app to delete GarageBand. These apps aren’t perfect, and do indeed miss things from time to time, but they’re generally a good place to start when trying to delete unwanted OS X apps. AppZapper and AppCleaner will then scour your Mac for all of the associated support, preference, and data files that aren’t in the app’s self-contained bundle. Both operate similarly: you launch the uninstaller app which gives you a blank “drop zone,” and you drag and drop the app you want to delete into the drop zone. The two OS X uninstaller apps that we recommend are AppZapper ($13) and AppCleaner (Free). You can remove these manually by searching for “GarageBand” in your various system folders, or you can quickly hit them all with a third party OS X “uninstaller” app. The above process nukes the GarageBand app and takes care of its large files, but there are still some small preference and support files that may be left behind. Finally, reboot to ensure that everything related to GarageBand is gone. With all files and folders moved to the Trash, right-click on the Trash icon in your Dock and choose Empty Trash. Then just paste the folder’s location into the box and press Go. If you need a quick way to get to the folders in your System Library folder, open Finder and press Command-Shift-G to launch the Go to Folder window. Once you’re all backed up, head to the locations listed above and delete them one by one, authenticating with an administrator account if asked. This can be accomplished via something like Time Machine or with the creation of a bootable clone with an app like Carbon Copy Cloner.

To delete GarageBand, first quit all open applications and make a full system backup to be on the safe side. It may not seem like much, especially as storage capacities continue to rise, but 3GB can make a huge difference for those with small SSDs. Under normal circumstances, however, users looking to delete GarageBand can expect to save around 3GB of space. You should not delete this folder (or the Logic folder) if you are using Logic Pro. *Note that the size of the Apple Loops directory will vary depending on the number and type of loops downloaded by the user.

When installing non-Apple software you have to perform your own due diligence, so these recommendations are only intended to get you started.

There is no all-purpose tool capable of that.

More importantly, I don't know how to uninstall them.

Please understand that I never install clever hacks that modify the way macOS is designed to work. The worst case is no backups will be executed.'Īs 'worst cases' go it doesn't get any worse than that. ' Important Note: TimeMachineScheduler does not touch the contents of the backup volume at all. Removing its Preference pane (which you tell me does not load) will remove any remaining ability to uninstall their product and return your Mac to normal. Take note that the developer's instructions indicate its System Preference is required to remove their product. That particular file is probably located at /System/Library/PreferencePanes/TimeMachineScheduler.prefPane. Due to its nature Time Machine is particularly critical. You might try using an app such as EasyFind to determine the location of that file so that you can delete it, but that's generally a bad idea because uninstalling things in piecemeal fashion may have ancillary effects on a system. Are you unable to contact the developer at the email address on that page?
