Question: I had installed a trial version of [Drive Genius](http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius.php). Now I want to delete it.

I go to Applications list, it is not there. I search its name in SpotLight, it is not there either. But it keeps attaching its self to the menu bar at the top.

How can I deinstall Drive Genius?

Answer: 
From the [Drive Genius 3 User Guide](https://www.prosofteng.com/support/docs/Drive-Genius-3-User-Guide.pdf):

> 
> To completely remove Drive Genius 3 and its utilities from your hard disk, click on Uninstall from the Drive Genius 3 menu. A prompt will appear to confirm you want to uninstall the application and will require administrator authentication to complete the process:
> 
> 
> * Uninstall: Drive Genius 3 will remove only its support files from the operating system, but will leave the application and registration in its folders for future references.
> * Uninstall All: Drive Genius 3 will remove all its files, including the support files, registration files and move the application to the trash can.

In case you've already deleted parts of the installation, you may need to re-download/install the [Demo version](https://www.prosofteng.com/drive-genius-mac-protection-software/) first ([direct download link](https://www.prosofteng.com/download/?dg5)).
If you're only looking to disable DrivePulse, but not get rid of the Drive Genius app (it's really a great app overall) then launch Drive Genius, select Preferences from the Drive Genius menu and then click on the button "Disable DrivePulse."

Then you can simply launch Drive Genius for basic maintenance and repair whenever you need it (some of the extended features are not available without DrivePulse running - but most of the Apps within the program run just fine).
