I just lately put in Little Snitch with homebrew to attempt it out. I am irritated now by it bugging me about Demo mode on a regular basis and never making it simple to give up (it auto restarts if killed through htop).
So I’ve tried to uninstall it with brew uninstall little-snitch
. However that failed with some permission errors:
$ brew uninstall little-snitch
==> Uninstalling Cask little-snitch
==> Backing App 'Little Snitch.app' as much as '/choose/homebrew/Caskroom/little-snitch/
==> Eradicating App '/Purposes/Little Snitch.app'
==> Utilizing sudo to achieve possession of path '/Purposes/Little Snitch.app'

Now if I rerun the uninstall I get the next:
$ brew uninstall little-snitch
==> Uninstalling Cask little-snitch
Error: It appears there's already an App at '/choose/homebrew/Caskroom/little-snitch/6.1.1/Little Snitch.app'.
Additionally the daemon remains to be working, so the uninstall appears to have utterly failed:
What shall I do now? I could not discover an “Uninstall” button within the Little Snitch UI so I am caught.
This query is expounded however would not contain brew: Little Snitch uninstalled correctly however Little Snitch Helper nonetheless right here
