How to completely remove Live on OSX?

Post by Tarekith » Tue Apr 03, 2007 11:36 am

Is there a list of files and their locations if I wanted to completely remove Live 6.05 and do a completely fresh install? I'm having some odd issues with Live 6 now, weird midi problems and last night like 10 random crashes. Never had these issues before, and the only things I've done are reverting from 6.06b6 to 6.05 (didn't realize the beta cycle was going to go on so long, and got sick of always having to click "ok I know you're a beta and will expire on xx/xx/xx") and removing my Virus TI software.

I'd like to just remove everything and start with a completely fresh install.

Thanks.

the beauty of osx; there's hardly anything to remove..

user/library/application support/ableton/live 6.0.5/unlock/Unlock.cfg

user/library/application support/Ableton Live Engine

user/library/preferences/com.ableton.live.plist

user/library/preferences/Ableton/Live 6.0.5


although I would not remove the first one (the unlock)..
removing this will not make a fresh install fresher..
it is the unlock for all 6.x versions..

(if you don't have to do any reports with it..)

this one can get very large (100's of MB's)
