Odrive icon remains after removal from OS X

[zach]

Hi, installed odrive on osx to review. I uninstalled it due to space limitations using the instructions on your site for OS X and rebooted. The app and all folders are gone, but the odrive icon still shows up in Finder toolbar with “no options available” when clicked. How do I remove this icon?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please refer to this post for uninstall instructions. You most likely still have the ~/.odrive folder or have not restarted Finder.

How do I uninstall odrive?

Please follow the steps outlined below: Be sure to back up any unsync’d files before uninstalling! Windows: Exit odrive Uninstall odrive using the standard windows uninstall method (add/remove programs). The Windows uninstaller has been updated to cleanly uninstall all odrive components. The only thing remaining will be a backup of the odrive folder.

Thanks!

Tony,
I did follow the instruction in the FAQ for removal from OS X (above references Windows). After following all the instructions and deleting all odrive folders from the system. The icon still remains in the Finder toolbar. I restarted the computer several times.
Any suggestions?

Hi,

What version of OS X are you running?

Just to be doubly sure, can you go to the terminal and type the following?
ls -al ~ | grep odrive

Does that show anything?

Tony,
OS X 10.11.3
What does that terminal string do? I’m not that familiar with terminal.

It will list any odrive entries in your user home directory. It is how we will ensure that ~/.odrive is removed. If you see the ~/.odrive folder you will need to remove it as per the instructions.

I separated out the windows and mac instructions so it is clearer:

Tony,
Here’s the terminal response:
Last login: Wed Mar 16 16:08:18 on console
Zachs-MacBook-Air:~ ownerowner$ ls -al ~ | grep odrive
drwxr-xr-x 10 ownerowner staff 340 Mar 16 16:00 .odrive
Zachs-MacBook-Air:~ ownerowner$

I had removed the files from the home directory.

Thanks,

the .odrive directory needs to be removed and Finder restarted. See steps 6 and 7 above.

Thanks!
