    Note: If you're doing this in order to perform a clean reinstall, it is recommended that you backup all the data in the SecretSync folder first. Do this as a precaution, in case there are any issues, so none of your data is lost. Simply copy all the files in the SecretSync folder to an alternate location, like your Documents folder.

    To uninstall, download this archive,

    http://getsecretsync.com/ss/help/SecretSync-uninstall.zip

    extract the contents and double-click on the 'SecretSync-uninstall' app. Once the service has been removed, you should get a pop-up telling you so.

    Note: This does not remove the Dropbox/.SecretSync_tunnel_Root folder, since you may be synchronizing other machines. If you are removing SecretSync everywhere, you will need to manually delete the .SecretSync_tunnel_Root folder from Dropbox. Just be aware that by manually deleting the .SecretSync_tunnel_Root will cause your data to be gone from all computers in the sync chain

    Note, the above uninstaller does not remove the SecretSync folder. Instead, it renames it using a timestamp, to clear the way for future installations. Your data still remains in the renamed folder.

    The renamed folder will be under your $HOME directory, and looks like the following:

    SecretSync OS X uninstall

    In the above screenshot, you can see that we uninstalled SecretSync on two different occasions, hence we have two different time stamped SecretSync folders.
