useless old data-stuff from deleted Photo-Beta - Where to find? What can I safely delete?


Recommended Posts

Could somebody please tell me, where I can find the „rests“ from the previously installed Affinity PHOTO version. 


 


I did drag the Photo-Beta from the Applications folder to the trash. 


And I do understand, that this will suffice to have a nicely working bought Photo version from MAS. 


 


However, I like to keep my system as „clean“ as possible. ;)


 


@AFFINITY 


Could you please tell me the exact places (paths) in the Library etc. where there is data-stuff from the Photo-Beta, that can safely be deleted  manually? 


 


Thank you very much !   :)

Hi Paul, thank you for the answer. 


 


So, you think, I can safely delete just everything that has the name affinityphoto.beta  in it? 


 


The interesting thing with the finder-search is: when I search for  „affinityphoto.beta“  


a )  search in „This Mac“  —> there is just 1 result 


user-> Library -> GROUP Containers -> …


128 Byte


 


I guess, that one can be deleted.

b )  search ONLY in „Library“


there are MORE results !!!


additionally  found now: 


 


1.


a FILE  called   com.seriflabs.affinityphoto.beta  that has 430 Byte 


  in 


user-> Library ->  Containers ->


 


Can I delete THIS WHOLE  FILE ???


(again: the app itself was deleted already and is not in the trash anymore)

2. 


and now this gets interesting…


CoreSync-… .log


  in


user-> Library -> Application Support -> ADOBE -> CoreSync


 


 


I really do wonder, what that means…???


Is ADOBE logging (and phoning home?), that I have Affinity Photo installed???


 


This CoreSync-…. .log can be opened with TextEdit and then a quick search for „affinity“ in that text indeed shows some gobbledegook with „com.seriflabs.affinityphoto.beta“ in it.


 


 


I guess, I should not delete that one, but I really do wonder what it means…


Can somebody shed some light on this, please? 


TIA :)


 


 


 


P.S.: 


Mavericks 10.9.5

Hi Sun,

I was only advising how to locate the Affinity Beta software data.

As far as the safe deletion of these files is concerned, it may be wise to ask a dev.

With regard to Adobe, your questions may be better directed to them or Apple.

If you have Flash Player, Shockwave etc. the files may be necessary for update notifications.
