Manually remove NXPowerLite Desktop (Mac) – Neuxpower

NXPowerLite comes with an uninstall script (uninstall.command) which should be run to completely remove NXPowerLite. It is located in the Applications/NXPowerLite directory. If the script is not used to remove NXPowerLite Desktop then you are likely in a situation where you cannot completely remove the old version and/or install newer versions.

If you have deleted it then you can download and try it from the corresponding downloads v7 Uninstall script | v8 Uninstall script | v9 Uninstall script

If the script does not work or you continue to see problems then please follow these steps:

1. Resolve error message 'You already have a different NXPowerLite product installed'

This problem occurs during the installation of NXPowerLite Desktop for Mac if it detects an incomplete uninstallation of a previous version of the software.

If this happens, the installer will put up the error message and not allow installation to continue.

The solution is as follows:

Launch a Terminal window, which can be found in Application -> Utilities.
Run the following two commands:

sudo pkgutil --forget 'com.NeuxPower.NXPowerLite.pkg'
sudo pkgutil --forget 'com.NeuxPower.NXPowerLite-Desktop.pkg'

Note the sudo command will probably prompt for an administrator password, and that the command is case-sensitive.

2. Clean NXPowerLite Desktop Files

We suggest using 3rd party software AppCleaner to delete all the related NXPowerLite files in one easy step. If you use this option then either make a copy of or download the uninstall script for use after running AppCleaner. The steps for cleaning with AppCleaner are as follows:

Drag NXPowerLite application from the applications folder onto AppCleaner
Run AppCleaner
Run the uninstall script for your version of NXPowerLite Desktop

If you are unable to use that App then please find and remove the following files (if they exist):

/Applications/NXPowerLite Desktop/NXPowerLite Desktop.app
NXPowerLite Desktop.app
/Applications/NXPowerLite Desktop
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Scripts/com.NeuxPower.NXPowerLite-Desktop.NXPowerFinderExtension
