How to Uninstall Titanium Studio, OS X Style

April 3, 2014  

In life and development, sometimes things break. There have been one or two occasions where I’ve needed to reinstall Appcelerator’s Titanium Studio. Unfortunately, to do a complete reinstall, you have to completely uninstall Titanium Studio. OS X doesn’t necessarily make this as straight forward as it should be. So let’s lay it all out, step by step.

Uninstall Titanium Studio OS X

A complete uninstall of Titanium Studio OS X isn’t difficult, but there are a lot of little pieces hiding out on your system. I’ve gathered these steps from various sources (and a bit of system searching) to put (hopefully) all of them together in one place. So here they are:

  • Remove the /Applications/Titanium Studio folder.
  • Remove your workspace folders.
    The default is workspace folder is in ~/Documents, and named Titanium Workspaces or something similar. You may have set a different default, or created other workspaces. Note that you may have projects in these directories. Back them up first.
  • Remove the ~/Library/Application Support/Titanium folder.
  • Uninstall the Titanium Node.js module
    You’ll need to open up a command prompt and run npm uninstall titanium -g, quite probably with sudo.
  • Uninstall the Alloy Node.js module
    You’ll need to open up a command prompt and run npm uninstall alloy -g, quite probably with sudo.
  • Remove the ~/.npm folder.
  • Remove the ~/.alloy folder.
  • Remove the ~/.titanium folder.

All Done!

Once you’ve completed all the steps, I’d restart your system for good measure. I fully admit this may be a holdover from so many years on Windows systems. After that you can download the latest version of Titanium Studio and get back to work.

    NSIS uninstaller does not work on windows. I run installer over and over and it does nothing, no error, no work, no details. …. Thank you for giving me a messy manual cleanup for software I hardly used.
