How to uninstall SlingPlayer for Mac

In some cases, you might want to uninstall SlingPlayer for Mac OS, and supporting files, to help with troubleshooting. Here's how.

Follow these steps:

  1. Quit the SlingPlayer application.
  2. Select the SlingPlayer application in the Finder (Applications folder).
  3. Move the application to the Trash can.
  4. Empty the trash.

You have now removed the application.

If you're feeling really techie and want to remove all supporting files such as your Slingbox directory settings and favorites, you can find these files within the Preferences folder of your Home Directory (HD>Users>your User folder>Library>Preferences):

  • com.slingmedia.plist
  • com.slingmedia.setupassistant.plist
  • com.slingmedia.slingplayer.plist

Now that you have removed all files, reinstalling your SlingPlayer will result in a totally clean installation of the application and new settings will be created again.

We hope you don't leave SlingPlayer off your Mac for too long!
