Yesterday, a friend complained to me that SketchUp is really difficult to be removed on her Mac, so today, I tried to installed this app on my Mac and have a try to remove it. The removing result is successful but I also find that it's very easy for the people to encounter some problems during the removal, so I would like to share my experiences about how to avoid the problems my friend encountered, and uninstall SketchUp smoothly.

About the app:

SketchUp is a 3D design app can be installed on Mac OS X, it can be used for free, and also has an additional Pro version which provides more functions and features for 3D modeling.

After that, go to the Activity Monitor, and make sure there is no associated processes of the app running at the background.
