Roxio Easy VHS to DVD (Mac): How to Completely Uninstall

Easy VHS to DVD for Mac: Complete Uninstall

If the “Quick” version of the Easy VHS to DVD for Mac uninstall procedure does not fix the issue you are facing, a more thorough cleanup might be needed. This uninstall procedure involves more advanced steps that may not be recommended if you are a casual macOS user, and are not comfortable digging into hidden areas of your operating system. If this is the case, we advise reaching out to a more advanced user for assistance, or contact Technical Support.

If you have not tried performing the Quick uninstall procedure yet, we advise trying that first. You can go directly to that article by clicking here .

Part-1

To start the procedure, open the Applications folder and trash the "VHS to DVD" folder. This contains the following apps:

1. Roxio Video Capture.app
2. MyDVD.app

 Part-2

Open "Macintosh HD", then press Command + Shift + Period (yes, the dot) to reveal hidden files and folders.

Once hidden files and folders have been revealed (with a grayed out look), proceed with the instructions below.

Note:

Folders have been indicated by a starting and ending forward slash (/) so as not to confuse them with individual files.

I - Caches

Navigate the following directory path and delete the specified files or folders, as indicated:

/private/var/db/BootCaches/F65089F5-29BF-4B10-8598-90C712056BBB/ (this hexadecimal folder may look different per user)
