How can I get rid of GoogleVoiceAndVideoAccelSetup on Mac Os Yosemite?

Solution 1:

Use the terminal to go to /private/tmp, and you'll find a set of folders which name starts with 2014*, in my case I had 20141118101236 and 20141117152211.

It seems that each of these folders match with every "zombie" Google volume displayed in finder. I was about to delete both folders, but before deleting them I decided to open the tmp folder with finder by doing "open ." from the terminal, and once the finder window popped up the "zombie" folders from My Mac got deleted automatically, it must have been a cache problem.

Solution 2:

Same problem here.

Found and deleted /Library/Caches/com.google.SoftwareUpdate.0
Restarted finder (Alt + Right Click on finder icon then Click Relaunch)

Result: All GoogleVoiceAndVideoAccelSetup* volumes removed.

Reference:
OS X 10.10 on a late 2009 iMac

Solution 3:

I found this on the Google support website, which worked for me on OS X (although had to reboot to finally remove the extra mounted volumes):

To uninstall in Windows:

Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Add or Remove Programs. Scroll down to find Google Talk plugin. Click Remove, then Yes, then Finish.

To uninstall in Mac OS X:

Open Finder and then open the Terminal application. Copy and paste the following command into the window:

/Library/Application\ Support/Google/GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller

Press Enter on your keyboard.
