Remove Autodesk software from Mac

 

Uninstall products using the Remove utility

For some products, you can run the Remove ProductName utility in the Finder > Go > Applications > Autodesk folder. The Remove utility uninstalls both the application file and residual files.

1. Locate the Remove <product name> utility in Finder > Go > Applications > Autodesk.
2. Double-click Remove <product name> to uninstall a product, where product name is, for example, AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT.

If the Remove utility isn’t available for your software, follow the steps in the next section.

Uninstall products manually

1. Uninstall all Autodesk programs by right-clicking the program icon and choosing Move To Trash.
2. Open a Finder window and navigate to the root of the local hard drive and delete the following folders:
   • /Library/Autodesk
   • /Library/Application Support/Autodesk
   • /Users/[username]/Adlm
   • /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Autodesk 
     Note: The Library folder is usually hidden. To show it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key.
   • /Users/username/.flexlmrc
   • /Library/Frameworks/Adlm.framework/
   • /Applications/Autodesk/Adlm
3. Navigate to the folder /Library/Preferences/Flexnet Publisher/FLEXnet and delete the files with the adskflex prefix.
4. Find and delete the folder /Library/Application Support/Flexnet Publisher. 

Important:  Don’t delete this folder if you’re running Adobe products on your Mac. Adobe products also use FlexNet. Deleting this folder can cause problems if the Adobe products are still installed.
