Body: <p>TLDR: how to remove EV3 software completely from Mac?</p>
  <p>A year ago I got a used Mindstorms EV3 set, fired it up and played around with my son who was 8 at the time. I installed a setup where we could write Python scripts to control the robot. But it was too time consuming and maybe my son just didn't get a big spark for robotics, so we stopped using it.</p>
  <p>I think I uninstalled the parts that I could, but lately some EV3 manager part has started running itself in the background erroneously, consuming 90% of CPU and heating up the computer. I can stop the process from Activity Monitor. But I struggle to find and remove this program. I have no clue why it fires up randomly!</p>
  <p>Any help?</p>

Comments.Text: I’m voting to close this question because it is not a question about LEGO directly, it is a question about how to uninstall a running service on Windows, which is better answered on another site in the Stack Exchange network.

Comments.Text: The answer is very specific to this specific software package, so, in this case, I think this Q&A is better suited to this site rather than other more generic Stack Exchange sties.
