1> Solution 1: Manually Removing Little Snitch

Manually Removing Little Snitch is a complicated thing, for you need to find its associated files/floders and delete them. Like configuration files, service programs, background programs， dynamic link libraries, log files, descriptive documents, framework files, cache files, driver files etc. So how to find these files/folders to delete? We will introduce two ways as below:

The version of the program you are about to download is 8.1.6. The software is periodically scanned by our antivirus system. It may sharply differ from the full version of the program due to the license type. You are about to download a trial version of the program. We also encourage you to check the files with your own antivirus before launching the installation.

1.1> You can use a build-in command of macOS “find”. Its function is searching all files/folders on macOS. Moreover, the command owns powerful and flexible parameters that can enhance the searching capability. For example, typing following command line is able to find files/folders which are associated with Little Snitch.

sudo find / -name “*Little Snitch*”

And then wait patiently for about one or two minutes, all of the files/folders associated with xxx that you want to delete are listed on Terminal.

1.2> If you do not like to use command line, macOS also provides some graphical user interface (GUI) tools (e.g., Finder, Spotlight) for searching for you. These tools perform the same function as “find” command.

We can find all of the files/folders associated with xxx by two ways as above, and then use the “rm” command to remove them.

1.1 In Terminal, typing the “rm” command like this:

sudo rm -rf /Applistions/Little Snitch.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Applistion Support/Little Snitch

this will delete Little Snitch.app and Little Snitch.

1.2 To delete special files, such as Kext files, you must use “kextunload” command to stop them befor use “rm” command to delete them.

How To Uninstall Little Snitch Mac

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/kext files of Little Snitch
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Little Snitch.kext

1.3 Some files have enabled the locked attribute, so you can neither drag them to the Trash nor use the “rm” command to delete them. In such a case, you can disable locked attribute by command, which is as follows:

chflags -R nouchg /PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/WITH/LOCKED/FILES/
* chflags = change flags on files/folders such as “locked”
* -R = recursive or for everything and follow directories within the specified directory
* nouchg = means the file can be changed
* /PATH/ = of course is the path to the files you want to change.

By all accounts, manually removing Little Snitch is not appropriate to the most macOS users, because macOS will crash if you make mistakes in the course of manually removing Little Snitch. We usually recommend you to use Automatic Removal Tool.

2> Solution 2: Automatically Removing Little Snitch
