Uninstall TeX from a Mac
26/12/10 19:47 Filed in: Mac
This describes how to remove pretty much all of Mac TeX from a Mac, which you might want to do before installing a new version.
You need to do some of this in a Terminal window, and as root (use the command "cd /; sudo su -" to become root properly).
rm -rf /usr/local/texlive
rm -rf /Applications/TeX
rm -rf /Library/TeX
Then open System Preferences, right-click on the the TeX icon and choose "Remove".
That should pretty much do it.
You can leave multiple versions installed and it will cope, you use the TeX preference pane to switch between different versions.
