Complete uninstall Parallels 3 on Mountain Lion

Hi everyone,

Had a very old Parallels 3 on my MacBook. Got a MacBook Pro the other day, running Mountain Lion, and as we know, it doesn't run 3. I transferred everything via Time Machine.

I want to now remove it from my MacBook Pro, but I can't because it doesn't recognize the program. I used the disk and the uninstaller doesn't work. I tried the .dmg uninstaller and again, no dice.

How do I make sure I completely get rid of all of it? Please help!

Thanks!

 

Hi laurie15,

Run the Uninstaller application and follow the prompts on the screen.

After that, please open Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and copy/paste the following commands one-by-one there (hit Return after each of them).

IMPORTANT! Check that you insert commands accurately, otherwise Mac OS might be corrupted:

cd /Library/StartupItems/
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /Applications
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo rm -rf vmmain.kext
sudo rm -rf hypervisor.kext
sudo rm -rf Pvsvnic.kext
sudo rm -rf ConnectUSB.kext
sudo rm -rf Pvsnet.kext

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, as I mentioned, then Uninstaller doesn't work. That is the issue I am having.

Any suggestions for that step? App Zapper?

 

I'm having the same problem
