Hi Ronni, I have always wondered why there doesn't seem to be a "complete" solution for deletion of applications. It seems to me I am unaware of a complete "one-hit" solution which does all the package removal actions, registry reversion etc. In Windows (I have no choice but to use it at my work place), as many may be aware the Control Panel>Uninstall a Program action is an all inclusive process. Perhaps there is a good reason for this strategy by Apple. Any clues to why this is? Regards Pete.

In your home folder, delete the following file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.alfredapp.Alfred.plist 2. In your cache folder, delete the following file: ~/Library/Caches/com.alfredapp.Alfred 3. In Application Support, delete the contents of the Alfred folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/ If you do not have the hidden User Library showing: Mavericks hides the user Library folder (that is, ~/Library) by default, just as Lion and Mountain Lion did. You can open it easily enough by holding down Option while choosing Library from the Finder’s Go menu, but if you find yourself doing this frequently, that can get to be a hassle. Mavericks introduces an easier way to make the user Library folder visible all the time—no more fiddling in Terminal. All you need to do is open your home folder in its own window, choose View > Show View Options, and select the Show Library Folder checkbox.

You can then simply delete the application from your Applications folder. For a cleaner uninstall, uncheck "Launch Alfred at Login" in the General preferences tab or go to your System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, select "Alfred" and press the minus button to remove it.
