What is the Best Solution to Uninstall Adobe InDesign?<\/h3>\n

I would like to introduce an easy approach to uninstall Adobe InDesign, just in case you are more interested in saving time for other purposes. There you go:<\/p>\n

\"uninstall_adobe_indesign_1\"<\/p>\n

1.Download – Install – Run MacRemover<\/span><\/p>\n

2.Select – Run Analysis<\/span>
\nIn the list of installed applications, select Adobe InDesign as a target, and hit \u201cRun Analysis\u201d.<\/p>\n

3. Complete Uninstall<\/span>
\nIt displays the files to be removed with their names, sizes and locations behind. Click on \u201cComplete Uninstall\u201d to proceed with the removal. If you are prompted with the confirmation, click on \u201cYes\u201dto fully uninstall Adobe InDesign from your Mac.<\/p>\n

When the removal is completed, it will say\u201cCongratulations! Adobe InDesign has been successfully removed…\u201d<\/p>\n

How Do I Manually Remove Adobe InDesign\u00a0from Mac<\/h3>\n

1.An Administrator Account or the Password<\/span>
\nTo uninstall Adobe InDesign or any other applications on Mac, you need to either log into your Mac with an administrator account or know the password. If you are not using an administrator account, it will ask for permission when you try to delete something or make changes. (You can find out whether your account has admin rights by clicking on the Apple menu – System Preference – Users & Groups<\/span>. Check that your account shows in the list as \u201cAdmin\u201d.)<\/p>\n

2.Find the program<\/span>
\nBrowse the Application folder<\/span> or Desktop<\/span>, see if you can find Adobe InDesign. This is just like you see those app icons on your iPhone\/iPad: some applications are represented by only a single icon (e.g. Mozilla Firefox), while some are classified by a folder of multiple icons (e.g. Microsoft Office). Adobe InDesign should belong to the former. > If it doesn\u2019t show on the Desktop, go to the upper left corner of the screen, click \u201cGo\u201d on the Finder, select \u201cApplications\u201d, then browse for it again.<\/p>\n

3. Drag to the Trash<\/span>
\nDrag the Adobe InDesign icon to the Trash<\/span>, which is on the right end of the Dock (quickly move it to the trash by pressing Cmd + Del). When you release the left mouse button, it sounds like the application being scrunched up, but actually it will stay until you empty the Trash.<\/p>\n

It will ask for your confirmation, also click \u201cEmpty Trash\u201d on the message. This will permanently uninstall Adobe InDesign and everything inside, freeing up the hard drive space on your Mac.<\/p>\n

\"uninstall_adobe_indesign_6\"<\/p>\n

6. Finder – Go – Library<\/span>
\nIn the entire removal process, the Library folder could be a blind spot to many users. So this is teaching you how to delete the Support and Preference Files from it, which are those left behind after you uninstall Adobe InDesign application. Usually they are very small, so if you attempt to reinstall the application, you can keep them. Otherwise, just do the following to clean them out.<\/p>\n

\nUnder\u00a0~\/Library\/<\/span>, ~\/Library\/Preferences\/<\/span>, and ~Library\/Application Support\/<\/span>, look for the files or folders with the name of InDesign or Adobe Systems (the vendor).<\/p>\n

\"uninstall_adobe_indesign_9\"<\/p>\n

\"uninstall_adobe_indesign_8\"<\/p>\n

Then right-click on it, select \u201cMove to Trash\u201d to delete it. If you can\u2019t \u201cEmpty Trash\u201d right away, restart your Mac and try again.
