how to uninstall iTerm2

Question

After searcher for about an hour and only getting install options I have to ask. How to uninstall iTerm2.

So some how I passed a big load of JSON into it (don't ask) and now it has lost the plot some what. So I want to kill it and start over, profile and all.

Answer 1

• If it's installed by Homebrew then you could use brew cask uninstall iterm2.
• If it's installed by a manually downloaded DMG file then you could goto the /Applications folder in Finder, find the iTerm Icon, right-click it and then move to trash.

Answer 2

Moving iTerm2 from Applications to Trash or performaning a brew uninstall --cask iterm2 may not be enough as it leaves behind Finder Context Menu Items:

There's FAQ entry covering how to remove all settings:

defaults delete com.googlecode.iterm2 

However, running the above command does not remove the items from the Finder Context Menu even after a killall Finder.

I opened an issue on the iTerm repo on GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/8459.

Look there for updates on how to uninstall iTerm2 completely.
