If Sparkle is running in the background and won't quit normally, here's how to fully remove it:


​Force quit first:

  1. Open Activity Monitor (search in Spotlight)

  2. Find "Sparkle" in the list and select it

  3. Click the X button and choose Force Quit

Then uninstall:

  1. Open your Applications folder

  2. Drag Sparkle to the Trash

  3. Empty the Trash
