Update:

Too little used in modern technology, Adobe Flash Player It remains another engine used to play media (video / audio / flash), in many Web applications. You've probably tried to watch an videoclip online And you couldn't because you didn't have a flash player installed. As a plug-in in the browser or as a plug-in on the operating system.
Compatible on both Windows, Linux and OS X / macos, Flash Player convinces over 1.4 billion users worldwide to keep it installed. As I said above, there are many web applications that use it when playing content video / live stream, flash games or music.

For maccos users, Adobe Flash Player settles Very simple, through the standard steps used by most applications. Discharged from the offile page of Adobe Flash Player, then in another two or three steps the player is installed.
The interesting side becomes when a macos user wants to Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player. The classic walking method in the folder ”Applications"Searching the application folder and taken to"Trash", It does not work much. And as all Mac users know, there is no" operating system on this operating systemControl Panel"And a"Add/Remove Programs"As it exists on Windows.
In more than 6 years spent on Mac I discovered that this flash player application has something unique. As for installation we need to download the application package, we must also do when we want to get rid of it. Specifically, we must download and run "Uninstaller Adobe Flash Player“.

How we uninstall Adobe Flash Player on Mac

1. We go on This link And we download the "uninstalle" of flash player compatible with the macos version.

2. We allow "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" to run. Click on the button ”Open“.

3. We close all the applications and processes that use this plug-in. Force Close All si click “Retry”.

4. We are waiting for the confirmation of uninstallation. Does not require restart of the operating system.

It is a little strange that for the uninstalling of an application we use a dedicated application package, but in most Adobe products for Mac, the uninstallation process is almost the same.

I've been writing passionately since 2004 about Windows and Linux operating systems, and since 2010 I've become a fan of Apple University. I'm currently writing tutorials for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other Apple devices.
