How to uninstall?

[robot1125]

I'm getting some errors that make me think my configuration is damaged (ex: "Pyro5.errors.CommunicationError: cannot connect to /Users/robot1125/Library/Application Support/maestral/maestral.sock: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
2023-03-22 07:52:42 daemon ERROR: Daemon is running but not responsive, killing now").

Rather than try to repair it, I'd like to reinstall it, but I want to make sure I remove everything properly first. I don't see uninstall instructions in the docs anywhere... sorry if I missed them.

Can you provide the "proper" way to uninstall so I can reinstall?

Hm, that is strange. Are you using the App Bundle or a Python installation? In the second case, "uninstalling" will mean just deleting the App Bundle. If you also want to reset the configuration, you should unlink Maestral first.

That being said, I'm not sure if this will fix the issue. Could you try to start the daemon from the command line and see if there are any errors? The following command will run the daemon directly and print all output to the Terminal:

maestral start --foreground --verbose

I wish I remembered how I installed it. I apologize for forgetting that. Is there a way to find out? As for your testing ideas, running the app in the foreground literally displayed nothing. However, it started in some capacity:  And upon starting it, my fans immediately spun up. ^C didn’t work, I had to ^Z and kill it manually. I looked in the log file and nothing since my tests this morning which spawned this thread: ``` 2023-03-22 07:52:42 daemon ERROR: Could not communicate with daemon Traceback (most recent call last): File "app_packages/Pyro5/client.py", line 310, in connect_and_handshake File "app_packages/Pyro5/socketutil.py", line 283, in create_socket FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "app_packages/maestral/daemon.py", line 537, in start_maestral_daemon_process File "app_packages/maestral/daemon.py", line 348, in wait_for_startup File "app_packages/maestral/daemon.py", line 344, in wait_for_startup File "app_packages/Pyro5/client.py", line 214, in _pyroBind File "app_packages/Pyro5/client.py", line 376, in __pyroCreateConnection File "app_packages/Pyro5/client.py", line 336, in connect_and_handshake Pyro5.errors.CommunicationError: cannot connect to /Users/robot1125/Library/Application Support/maestral/maestral.sock: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 2023-03-22 07:52:42 daemon ERROR: Daemon is running but not responsive, killing now ```

Do you have an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac? And which version of Maestral do you have installed? There was an issue with Maestral 1.7.0 on Intel Macs where it did not start start up properly and instead used a lot of CPU. If you are affected by this, downloading the latest version from https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral/releases/tag/v1.7.1 should help.
