Samsung Magician disk utility takes 18 steps and two reboots to uninstall (chalmovsky.com)
A writer reports that removing Samsung Magician on macOS takes an unusually complex process, including a cleanup script, extensive manual file deletion, and two reboots into Recovery Mode to temporarily disable and re-enable SIP. The post says the built-in cleanup script fails to remove components due to repeated chown errors, leaving multiple Samsung files scattered across system areas such as kernel extensions and staged extensions. The author also criticizes the software’s bundled bloat, including animation assets, an embedded Electron framework, and ads.
