How to Remove VueScan Preference Files on a Mac

Delete remaining VueScan files from your Mac computer to completely remove the application.

VueScan enhances your scanner's abilities by supporting document, photo and film scans, and allows you to convert the scanned file into a PDF, JPEG, TIFF or TXT file on your computer. Problems with the software are saved in the log file found in the Preferences folder on your Mac, and are typically sent to the VueScan support team to diagnose technical issues with the software. If you no longer use VueScan, you must manually delete the log file; it is not automatically removed during the uninstallation process.

Instructions

1. Click "Finder." Click "Home," which is a house icon next to your username in the side menu.

2. Double-click "Library." Double-click "Preferences."

3. Drag-and-drop "vuescan.log" to the trash. Click "Finder" at the top of the screen.

4. Click "Empty Trash" from the pull-down menu. Click "Empty Trash" in the pop-up window to confirm the removal of all previously removed computer files in the trash bin.
