Complete 5.x Uninstall? Fri Nov 20, 2020 5:12 pm • by learned
The more I play the more I think I have a corrupt uninstall. I'd like to totally remove all vestiges of Hazel and do a fresh install not an upgrade. Are the only components I need to remove

~/Library/Preferences/com.noodlesoft*
~/Library/Application Support/Hazel
/Applications/Hazel

I'm guessing if I do that, kill HazelHelper, reboot I should be close to a clean start.

What is the current issue you are seeing? I would not resort to doing something this drastic until other approaches are exhausted.

I am having issues with Hazel 5 and Big Sur. I upgraded the other day and none of my rules seem to be working. For example here is a screenshot of my Downloads folder and the rule to move Screen Shots to the JPEG image folder...it is not working :(

Same issue I am having on Catalina.. I preview the rules, everything looks great. there are no log entries because nothing is happening. I have to run the rules manually to get them to do anything..

Please follow the troubleshooting guide in regards to logs. Make sure to turn on debug mode. Post logs with the following info:

- Name of the folder being monitored
- File that should be processed but wasn't
- Rule the file was supposed to match
- Time it was added to the folder
- Excerpt from the logs around this time

Do not post any "me too" posts without the above info.
