How to uninstall Qt Creator on Mac Yosemite


I have tried this but when I do, the terminal ask me for password. I don't know what this password is? I don't have any password on my mac, i don't enter any password when I login and I can't get passed the first step below.

sudo QtSDK/SDKMaintenanceTool.app/Contents/MacOS/SDKMaintenanceTool

I am uninstalling Qt Creator 2.8.1 on Mac OS Yosemite 10.10 I just want to install the latest 5.3.2 version and get rid of the old one. I could probably choose a new folder but I don't want to do that and it doesn't let me install over the current folder.


Solution

  • I figured it out. Basically I was not able to locate the file because it never shows up in finder but here is how to get there.

    From 'Go' menu on Finder, select 'Go to Folder'

    Type ~/Library

    This will take you to file system. I had two folders related to Qt (Qt and Qt 5.1). Both folders had MaintenanceTool file in it which I run and it asks if you want to uninstall and select yes. This will uninstall Qt Creator and all its components.

    Update

    Like aksiksi noted in comment below, it maybe installed in root folder for new versions. To go there type / in 'Go to Folder' dialog and look for Qt installation there.
