I like to know exactly what files an application installs on my system so that if I later decide to remove it, I can do so cleanly. In fact, this is one reason why I prefer Macs to PCs, because I don't have to mess around with regedit every time I want to fully remove an app from my system. Anyway, Little Snitch is unlike most Mac apps in that it installs files in a number of different places on your system. From what I understand, the uninstaller does not completely remove all of these files from your system, either -- leading to potentially unpleasant unintended consequences.
Below I have compiled a list of every file that Little Snitch 2.0.3 has installed on my system. Perhaps it will be useful to those of you who want to fully remove the program while you investigate anomalies with your system. While I believe the list to be complete, if anyone discovers other files I have missed, please post a followup with the path to the file.

Also down the road i suggest you invest in CleanApp when you need to uninstall something completely. CleanApp has a logging feature that logs any app you install, so come time you want to remove it, it deletes your app and all of the associated files. Aug 18, 2015  I picked up this program called appzapper and I took the little snitch program from the app folder and removed it. Or so I thought. I deleted every file I could find for little snitch but I restarted and its still there. I pulled up the activity monitor and quit all.


Note that lines ending with a '/' represent directories that contain one or more files which are only part of Little Snitch. Note further that the '~' symbol represents your home directory. Finally, note that the directory marked with '(*)' contains the Little Snitch registration files, including a hidden file (.lsd) that will not show up in a Finder window. Removing this directory will, however, remove all traces of your registration from your system.Little

After removing the above directories, you will need to reboot your machine in order to boot a new kernel that does not contain the Little Snitch kernel extension. That is, unless you know how to use the kextunload(8) command from the command line to do it manually.
