Uninstall Complete
Only the selected version folders are removed. The currently installed grandMA3 application and shared user data remain unchanged.
Deleting the MALightingTechnology folder entirely is not recommended unless all installed grandMA3 versions and related files should be removed from the system.
Important:
Removing the application from the Applications folder only deletes the visible application bundle and does not automatically remove older installed versions stored inside the application package.
