Question

For reasons that we won’t discuss, I have determined that MAMP is a pile of crap that haunts my system, and unless I remove it fully, I will live in shame.

I’ve done the obvious thing and removed the MAMP directory from my Applications folder, however, I don’t like wandering files, and I have an itching feeling that MAMP put some .sock files somewhere, or otherwise made a mess in my file system.

What files does MAMP add to a system when it’s installed, and where are they?

If you have proof that MAMP doesn’t actually put files anywhere (besides the /MAMP dir), then that’s as good an answer as any!

Answer 1

From their help page:

To ‘uninstall’ MAMP, you only have to delete the MAMP directory and everything returns to the original state (MAMP does not alter anything on the ‘normal’ OS X).
