```
delete /Users/<username>/LiquidRhythm
```
```
delete /Library/Application Support/LiquidRhythm
```
```
delete /Library/Application Support/WaveDNA
```
If you have installed much older versions of Liquid Rhythm (pre-1.4.x), you may also have the following directory to remove:
```
delete /LiquidRhythm
```
You may also wish to delete all in-application User Preference files, which are located at the following locations:
```
delete /Library/Preferences/com.wavedna.liquidrhythm.app.plist
```
```
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidmusic.preferences.plist
```
```
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidrhythm.preferences.plist
```

Remove standalone MaxMSP preference files.

delete /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/LiquidLoops Audio Engine Preferences

delete /Library/Application Support/LiquidLoops Audio Engine Preferences

You may also wish to remove your WaveDNA License from your computer. Note that if you plan to re-install, you may not wish to perform this step, as you will have to re-activate your license for your current computer, which means that an additional seat on your license will be consumed. Please contact us if you do actually do this, and we can help you migrate your license and ensure you'll have the full two seats you purchased for two workstations.
```
delete /Library/Preferences/com.wavedna.license.plist
```
```
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidmusic.license.plist
```
