How to Uninstall Picasa on Mac Manually
To remove Picasa from your computer with all service files and unneeded data, follow the next steps:
- Remove Picasa from the Applications folder to the Trash.
- Open the Finder and navigate the ~Library folder. For this, press Cmd+Shift+G and type ~/Library in the search field. Then press Enter.
- Go to the Application Support subfolder → Google → Picasa 3. In the Picasa 3 folder find the file db3 and remove it.
*Note that if you wish to save the edited photos, export them before you remove Picasa.
If you can’t find the mentioned above file, use the automatic method to uninstall Picasa from your Mac.
Uninstall Picasa with App Cleaner & Uninstaller

If you have trashed Picasa before in a regular way (dragged its icon to the Trash) you can find its service files as well with App Cleaner & Uninstaller. In this case, go to the Remaining Files tab and remove the needed files.
