    I am trying to uninstall Parallels 4.0 from my Mac (Snow Leopard). I have the original disk and selected uninstall. I get the response, "Uninstall Failed! The Parallels Desktop is not installed." Of course, it *is* installed and I can rev it up and use it just fine. I tried rebooting and using the Desk Utility to repair disk permissions but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem

    Hello,

    I had the same problem, i had so many duplicate files that when i put in the disk it wouldn't uninstall. So i did a spotlight search of Parallels and did a manual uninstall (dragged to trash). Try this out.

    The results

    I did the steps from the site I mentioned before, and the ones listed here: http://kb.parallels.com/en/5714. I used spotlight like RachelM suggested. And even after that my DiskSweeper said I had 14.9 GB of Parallels left. It found a folder in the Library and I trashed that and *now* I think I have gotten it all off my computer.
