I tried the demo for Largo. Had I known that Syncrosoft dumps so much software on my Mac, I wouldn't have tried it.
There is no uninstall information about it.
I only needed 1 day to know I don't want this Largo synth.
Is it possible they don't have an uninstaller for Mac OSX?
How to uninstall Syncrosoft E licencer on a Mac?

They don't exactly make it easy (which can make troubleshooting a corrupt installation a bit trickier than it needs to be). You have to have a Steinberg account to find this:
eLicenser Control Center
The following files have to be deleted manually in order to completely remove the eLicenser Control Center (eLCC):
/Applications/eLicenser Control Center
/Library/Application Support/eLicenser
/Library/Receipts/SyncrosoftLicenseControl.pkg
/Library/Receipts/eLicenserControl.pkg
/Library/Receipts/LCC.pkg
/Library/Receipts/NOS.pkg
/Library/Receipts/POS.pkg
Beginning with Mac OS X 10.6 also:
in /var/db/receipts/ all files that start with "com.syncrosoft" and "com.eLicenser".
You may find that not all the package receipts are there. You make also have a Syncrosoft folder under App Support - that can go too.

Hey thanks.
Yea I figured you'd have to do it manually.
I just don't know why they used this for a demo.
Largo isn't bad, but it's just not for me. Great gui workflow though.
Somewhat large, but still very fast, and easy to use.

Fwiw, this is one of the rather huge annoyances of OSX. There's just close to no proper uninstallers. And some applications are leaving LOADS of traces besides the main program.
Now, admittedly, most of them won't harm your system much (if at all), as most of them aren't automatically loaded on system start and as there's nothing such as Windows' registry which might get bloated, hence slowing down your entire machine after a while. Yet, after a while, certain things will defenitely become slower, plus your harddrive is getting filled up rather quickly - especially temp and cache directories are doing a nice job at slowing down things, something I found out more or less accidentally, when Firefox and Safari all of a sudden were getting slow beyond belief. Cleaning their caches from inside each browser didn't help at all, had to do it manually in Finder.
Seriously, this is an absolutely "un-shiny" aspect that many people often seem to forget when they rave about the greatness of OSX.

True.
I usually just do a search for company name, and product name which turns up most of them, then trash. In the case of Syncrosoft though, they add some odd name receipts in there. Who knows what else in the kext folder.
Something else I use for cleaning all caches, usually a couple times a month, is MacHelpMate, by Most software. It does much more than that, as it also can run hardware tests, among other things. It's free, but they have a better version to buy. That way you won't have to clean them manually. It can schedule auto cleanings too.
