How Can I Delete Xampp Permanently on Mac Os?

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?

XAMPP 5.x:

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

uninstall.app

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.

  1. Open Spotlight and search for XAMPP,

To open Spotlight, click the magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the menu bar, or press Command-Space from any app.

  1. Should be displayed some folders. Check for XAMPP (in upper cases) folder and open it.

  2. XAMPP folder should contain an uninstall programm, tap on it and follow the instructions.

  3. For a complete remove Go to Macintosh HD and delete the folder /Aplications/XAMPP (Be careful with you application files).

I did it right now and it works.

it's easy pro, Open the application folder. Click on the XAMPP icon and hold it. Drag the icon to Trash. Clean Trash (to do it just hold Ctrl and click on “Empty Trash”).

I think that just put the application (in your Applications folder) is enough. But you can try to search some XAMPP garbages.

Open your terminal, sudo and search for something containing XAMPP:

sudo -s
[ Type your password ]
find / | grep -i xampp

It can take a time if you do not have a fast hdd. This will display all files/folder containing XAMPP in their name.
