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: 
In order to properly uninstall the demo of Drive Genius 3, you will need to manually uninstall it.

To manually uninstall Drive Genius 3 delete the following files and folders at the end of the paths listed below. Double click on your "Mac HD" drive to start the path. 

`/Library/Application Support/DriveGenius` (folder)  

`/Applications/Drive Genius 3.app` (icon)

If you are running OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks the last three files/folders are located in the user's `Library` folder which is hidden by the operating system. You can temporarily access this folder by opening a Finder window and pressing `Command`+`Shift`+`G`. This will bring up "Go to the folder", enter `~/Library` and click go.

`/Users/Library/Application Support/DriveGenius` (folder) `/Users/Library/Preferences/com.prosofteng.DriveGenius2.plist` (file)  

`/Users/Library/Preferences/com.prosofteng.DGAgent.plist` (file)

Now you will need to restart your computer.

You can contact Drive Genius support at (877)477-6763 [press 2 for support].
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).
