To uninstall Helium on Mac, there are several methods available for you. Okay, let’s take the simple and traditional one to remove this application step by step.

1.Quit Helium through Activity Monitor

This is to make sure Helium is not running at the time. Launch Activity Monitor, and at the top of it, chance My processes to All Processes, then quit the process before starting the removal.                      

2. Finder – Go – Application

Find its icon. Most Mac OS X programs (anything that ends in .app) are bundles. The program icon you see in Application folder is usually a special folder itself, made to appear as a single double-clickable file. These folders has all, or at least most, of the files required to run the program, which means to uninstall the program, you only need to drag them to the Trash first.

3. Drag it to the Trash.

When you drag and release your selected Helium icon over the bin, you will hear a sound effect like the program is being scrunched up. In fact it is still there until you Empty Trash. Before doing that, you are able to drag it back to where it was, and nothing would be chanced. This function is to protect anything that is deleted by mistake.

You can empty the Trash to permanently uninstall Helium once you have made up your mind that you will never again need the program. This will free up the space, which was taken by it, on your computer. Then you need to manually find and delete its additional files.

5. Check Two Library folders.

The drag-and-drop steps will leave behind Preference files and sometimes Application Support files in Library folders, neither of which are stored in Application bundles. Although they just take up negligible disk space, it is better to remove them for a complete removal. But if you are going to reinstall Helium later, just keep them there, so that your personal settings get to remain. To delete the said vestiges, check both Library folders:

In your user’s Library folder:

~/Library/Preference

~/Library/Application Support

In the system-wide Library located at the root of the system volume:

/Library/Preferences

/Library/Application Support

6. Find those with the name of Helium or its vendor.

In the locations mentioned in last step, search for files with the name of the program or its vendor, then drag them to the Trash. If you are not so sure what you are looking for, a Google search about the program details might help you out.

7. Empty Trash again to completely uninstall Helium.

This cannot be undone, meaning once you empty the Trash, the files you deleted can’t be restored. So be careful not to remove anything that is not supposed to be removed.
