I am a beginner with Mac but I managed to uninstall all of PD 10 EXCEPT these icons. And the dock-list was allways in the way so I never got to Windows apps! I decided to uninstall Parallels completely, and install it again but with Win 7. It never worked: internet was dead, USB connections erratic and the damm cursor never worked at the corners in Win8.1 VM. įacts: installed Parallels Desktop 10 in a Mac Pro (late 2011 with Yosemite) and installed Win 8.1 with 'Menu win7 option'. It is crazy that Parallels doesnt include a complete and reliable uninstalling app for theirs own software! Among other problems. I just can't erase 3 icons left on Launchpad after uninstall: Win81 Applicacions + 2 (different) Stardock Utility. If anyone can help me here, I'd much appreciate it! I have searched for help completely removing Parallels Desktop 10 both on the Parallels website and elsewhere, but have so far not found anything to solve this problem. Of course, this is only a minor issue, but one which is time consuming as each time I try to load a file type associated with a shared Windows program, I get the following error message and have to select the correct OS X app from a menu: rar files using the shared WinRAR program from Windows 7, despite having uninstalled Parallels from my Mac (by moving it to Trash and emptying Trash) and changing the default application for this file type. OS X is still trying to load certain file types using Windows programs, and the list of shared Mac apps still appears in Windows 7.įrom the screenshot, you can see that OS X is still trying to open. However, I am having trouble completely removing all aspects of Parallels from both Yosemite and Windows 7 - in particular the shared applications. After evaluating Parallels Desktop 10, I've decided to run OS X and Windows separately as I really have little need to run Windows as a VM and so have uninstalled Parallels from my Mac.
