Open the Finder and navigate to the Applications folder.
Locate the Read&Write application icon.
If Read&Write is within a folder, open the folder and check for an "Uninstaller" application. If found, double-click it and follow the on-screen instructions. If no uninstaller is found, proceed to the next step.
If the application is not within a folder, drag the Read&Write application icon to the Trash.

Select "Go to Folder..."
Type or paste the following paths and press Return:

If you have files created with Read&Write, they might not be accessible after the application is uninstalled.
If the Read&Write extension is greyed out, it means it was deployed by a Google admin and you cannot remove it on your own.
