How Can I Delete Xampp Permanently on Mac Os?

Question

I used Xampp and deleted it. Then, I tried to use Mamp. There is an error that I don't understand. Mamp is working perfect as webserver. But if I want to use phpmyadmin, it doesn't work.

For example, I insert something to database. It isn't showing in phpmyadmin. It is saving to old Xampp database although I deleted Xampp. How does it happen?

How Can I delete Xampp permanently(with mysql) on Mac OS?

Solution 1

XAMPP 5.x:

You can find uninstall.app in /Applications/XAMPP.

After running this program, then you can use this command to delete all XAMPP cache files: sudo rm -rf /Applications/XAMPP

XAMPP 7.x:

• Open Mac OS Finder and go to /Applications folder. You should find an XAMPP icon there (eg. XAMPP.app), right-click it and choose 'Move to Trash'.

• In addition to this, you might want to delete the ~/.bitnami folder within your home directory.

Solution 2

the newer version of XAMPP include uninstaller apps, you can find it inside XAMPP folder in Application directory. But they leave empty XAMPP folder.

Solution 3

To uninstall XAMPP-VM, follow these steps:

    Delete the XAMPP-VM icon from the Applications folder.
    Remove all XAMPP-VM data by deleting the ~/.bitnami folder within your home directory on the OS X host.

Thank for reply. Xampp files were found only .Trash folder.

The XAMPP folder that is left behind may not be empty: It contains all your MySQL databases and the htdocs directory. This is really useful since that's the stuff you probably want to keep after you uninstall XAMPP.

Thanks for the help! :)

Macs need to work on a consistent way to uninstall applications. Drag to trash to delete...sure...but some apps leave fragments of themselves in places like /Application Support of /Extensions. If deleting ".app" I think the OS should then ask "Would you like uninstall this app?" and then just do so.

This was perfect for helping me find the local mounted machine and delete the files!
