**Description of the issue:**Brave just froze. I can’t quit the app but when I open a new window the tabs are there. I just can’t open them or even type in the search bar at the top. I can’t even turn off my computer because it says Brave is still open. I have tried to throw it in the trash from the dock at the bottom, from launchpad icon AND from the application folder.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3."I’ve tried doing this over and over and I can’t uninstall Brave. I thought I’d try and re install but I can’t even get an answer on how to fix this problem so I can re install the app.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Expected result:
Reproduces how often:
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): iMac 27" 2017 5K, High Sierra 10.13.6. From what I can tell this is Brave V. 73.0.61.51. I can’t find any other info on the Brave app since I can’t access Brave.
**Additional Information:**PLEASE HELP ME UNINSTALL THIS APP. I’D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE DOWN MY COMPUTER. Thanks.
Okay. I pulled up activity monitor by spotlight (wasn’t sure where that was) and there are several columns (CPU/Memory/Energy/Disk?network) all have brave. Kill ? I found the x at the top and finally did a force quit. So I guess just finish going throw all the columns then finish your list? Then I can just reinstall a brand new Brave? Thanks.
Each column/category is simply showing different data for the same processes – selecting and ending all Brave processes in CPU “section” is the same as selecting all Brave processes in Memory.
Once processes are killed, and you’ve removed/trashed everything listed in the steps above – yes, you should be able to download and reinstall Brave.
There still is a Brave logo under the energy column that wouldn’t delete when I used the X. Don’t see anything anywhere else after I took it out of CPU.
Besides still showing up in the Energy columns…
I did go to the Applications folder and threw the Brave app in the Trash.
I think #4. I go to Finder and click on Go then hit option to Library/application…Brave software. Besides the huge file labeled Brave Software there is another folder above it label brave (lower case). Does that go as well. There is a lot in both folders and don’t want to delete something I shouldn’t.
Okay. I deleted both files in the #4 and then went to the website and downloaded a new brave app. so it looks like it’s working again.
BUT how do I delete the bar at the top with set websites? I imported it when Iwas going through the tutorial but I don’t want that one. I had different ones for Brave that I put up there. These are from the Safari browers
If so, you can hide the bar by going to Settings --> Bookmarks --> Show Bookmarks bar (uncheck this) – you can also use the cmd + shift + B keyboard shortcut.
