    Hello.

    I tried out Parallels 12? last month on my brand new iMac running macOS Sierra 10.12.6

    I have decided not to purchase it at this time and have been trying to remove the app completely.

    So far I have removed much, but in spotlight I still see:

    Firefox Web Browser

    and

    Windows Firewall Control Panel

    Both of which are windows apps I ran at one time during my demo. And both have the 2 red bars on the icons which I assume means they are Parallels apps.

    My problem is, how to I remove these?

    Is there a master remove all app?

    I have probably removed a dozen different folders and items and still see these in my spotlight. I rebooted several times too.

    Also, I tried rebuilding my spotlight and putting my clone drive and time machine drive in "privacy" mode.

    And how do I ensure that any Kernel Extensions have been removed by as well?

    Basically I would like to get back to the state my system was before I installed parallels.

    Remove "Applications (Parallels)" folder from your home directory.
