I want to uninstall GarageBand '08 because my 2007 iMac is running low on disk space. So far, I think I can delete these:

  • GarageBand app
  • Library/Application Support/Garageband/
  • Library/Audio/Apple Loops/

Are there any other files I should delete? Also, why is GarageBand only 182 MB on the Mac App Store? Does it count on you having the above files installed, or can I install the new version from scratch later if I want?

Make sure to delete

  • /Library/Audio/Apple Loops
  • /Library/Application Support/GarageBand

Note the slash before, it's the Library on your Macintosh HD's root, not the one in your home folder. Beware that this will also include sound effects for iLife and could have unforeseen consequences.

The new GarageBand will require you to download all additional content – the App Store version just provides the basic application if I recall correctly.

There are apps that'll do the hard work for you :)

AppCleaner (free) or AppZapper (commercial).
