Uninstall FAH on Mac

Post by theresad »

Hi, I've spent a bit searching this forum for an uninstall link for Mac and all I found was an old reference to this page many times: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/F ... etaRelease. Could someone please direct me to a way to uninstall FAH from a mac? Thank you.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

The current client includes an uninstaller as part of the install. It is placed in the Folding@home folder in the Applications folder during a standard install.

Thank you for the welcome, and for the reply. However, I must have an old install. The only items in my Applications directory are "FAHClient.url" "FAHControl" and "FAHViewer". So how do I go about uninstalling? Thank you.

You can download the current installer.
When you get to the install pane, click Customize and deselect everything except Uninstaller.
The uninstaller should then be in /Applications/Folding@home/.
