Hello,
Thank you for contacting Parallels Support.
Kindly follow the below steps:
1. Open Finder > Applications
2. Find Parallels Access on the list and drag-and-drop it to Trash
There is NO PARALLELS ACCESS in Applications (there is a Parallels Toolbox)
If the uninstallation does not work, go to System Settings > General > Login Items and remove Parallel Access from the list and toggle it off.
There is NO PARALLELS ACCESS in Login (there is a Parallels Toolbox)
If the above still does not work, please perform the below steps:
1. Use Cmd + Shift + G and type /Library/LaunchAgents/ then delete com.parallels.mobile.prl_deskctl_agent.launchagent.plist.
Done
2. Use Cmd + Shift + G and type /Library/LaunchDaemons/ then delete com.parallels.mobile.dispatcher.launchdaemon.plist and com.parallels.mobile.audioloader.launchd.plist.
Done
3. Use Cmd + Shift + G and type /Library/Preferences/ then delete parallels-access.loc.
It is NOT in that folder it is in /Library/Preferences/Parallels
Done
4. Open Terminal and type and execute the below one by one:
ps aux | grep ParallelsIM
Done
sudo killall ParallelsIM
No Matching process found.
I will advise if the issue reoccurs.
Please advise why no Parallels Access was found in Applications or in the Login Settings?
