What is SoftRAID for Mac?

SoftRAID is a software application for Mac that allows you to create and manage RAID arrays using your internal or external hard drives. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, and it is a way of combining multiple disks into a single logical unit that can improve performance, reliability, or both. The application supports different types of RAID levels, such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5, and RAID 10, depending on your needs and preferences. You can use the program to monitor the health and performance of your disks, alert you of any potential problems, and repair any issues that may arise.

Despite providing useful features, SoftRAID is not compatible with some features of macOS, such as FileVault, Boot Camp, and Time Machine. Therefore, if you want to use these features, you should uninstall the app from your Mac.

How to uninstall SoftRAID on Mac manually

Like any application, SoftRAID creates and stores service files on your Mac hard drive. So when removing the app, it’s important to find and delete all those remaining service files. Usually, these temporary files are stored in the user’s Library folder, which is hidden by default. But we will show you how to get access to this folder.

Steps to manually delete SoftRAID:

1. Open SoftRAID.
2. Click Utilities in the menu bar and select Uninstall All Components.
3. Confirm the removal by clicking the Uninstall button in the popup window.
4. Once the removal is completed, you’ll need to restart your Mac to finish the process. Note, that even after these steps, you’ll need to take additional steps to remove the application’s leftovers.
5. Open Library and press Cmd+Shift+G.
6. In the window that appears, type ~/Library and press Enter.

7. In the Library folder, find and remove SoftRAID files from the following locations:

   • ~/Library/Application Support
   • ~/Library/HTTPStorages
   • ~/Library/Preferences
   • ~/Library/Caches
   

Note, that some service files of the app may be located in deep debris of the macOS system and it’s not so easy to find them. That’s why we recommend that you use App Cleaner & Uninstaller for a complete and guaranteed uninstallation of apps. Keep reading the article to learn more about this method.
