How to Uninstall RubyMine?

How do you uninstall RubyMine (from Mac OSX or other systems)?

It doesn't come with an uninstaller (from what I can tell). There are no options to uninstall in the application itself. There is no documentation (except a "Thank you for trying to uninstall..." on their site.

I can drag the App to the trash, but I assume there are Preferences, etc. to also uninstall. I hate to lose files.

Solution

  • You need to delete the following directories:

    • ~/Library/Caches/RubyMine*

    • ~/Library/Application\ Support/RubyMine*

    • ~/Library/Preferences/RubyMine*

    • ~/Library/Preferences/com.jetbrains.rubymine.plist*

    • ~/Library/Logs/RubyMine*
