The subject says it all; I really just want to uninstall the Logitech Media Server. Seemingly a very difficult task for some reason, could someone please advice? Something I've overlooked perhaps? I've seen the instructions for deleting the files in the Library folder, but this didn't remove the program from the system preferences on my mac and I could still start it. I want to get completely rid of it.

You can usually find the clean install (uninstall) instructions if you search the boards.
(note that if your running OSX Lion you may have to unhide your Library folder)
If you are on OSX Lion and you cannot see your Library folder.
- Go to finder and select:
- Applications
- Utilities
- Terminal
In the terminal type in:
chflags nohidden /Users/(enter account name here "without brackets")/Library
(pay close attention to spacing)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To perform Clean Install:
1.Go to System Preferences > Squeezebox Server and click Stop Server:
2.Close System Preferences.
3.Remove the following files and folders:
Now, you MUST make sure the server has been stopped before you start moving files and folders to the trash otherwise, the OS simply will not let you.
a. /Users/*User Account*/Library/Caches/ - remove Squeezebox Folder
b. /Users/*User Account*/Library/Application Support/ - remove Squeezebox Folder
c. /Users/*User Account*/Library/Logs/ - remove Squeezebox folder
d. /Users/*User Account*/Library/Preferences - remove com.slimdevices.slim.plist and com.slimdevices.slim.plist.lockfile
e. Macintosh HD//Library/PreferencePanes - remove Squeezebox.prefpane
*User Account* = the customer's user account.
Additionally, if a previous version was installed for All users as opposed to just one user, the folders and files will be located on the Main HD Library directory and not the user directory.
a.Home > Library > Application Support > Squeezebox
b.Home > Library > Caches > Squeezebox
c.Macintosh HD > Library > PreferencePanes > Squeezebox.prefPane
4.Move the files listed above to the Trash and empty the Trash.
You may want to reboot after this then reinstall if you want to.
