Uninstalling

Desktop Client can be uninstalled without removing existing configuration files.

Procedure

  1. If you are uninstalling in order to upgrade your Aspera® product, review the upgrade preparation steps in Upgrading or rolling back Desktop Client.
  2. Close or stop the following applications and services:
    • FASP® transfers.
    • SSH connections.
    • User interface.
  3. To remove all Aspera binaries, run the following command:
    $ sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Aspera/uninstall 

What to do next

Note: This process does not remove Aspera configuration files. If you reinstall an Aspera product, these configuration files are applied to the new installation.
