Key Takeaways

  • Uninstalling Parallels Desktop is easy, but you must do it properly to avoid leftover files.
  • Close the virtual machine and the app before uninstalling to avoid complications. Move the app to the Trash and empty it to remove it instantly.
  • After uninstalling, remove residual files by searching for the Parallels folder in ~/Library/ and deleting it. Then, remove similar leftover files in other directories as well.
