Blender Bundles – The Application Bundle

Drag & Drop leaves the associated files of Blender application. Normally, it is thought that all the associated files of a application is saved in the one folder but it is not so. Blender supported files & preference files are saved in other location than the Blender Package folder. So you need to get all these files deleted manually. Deleting all the left overs of Blender is not that easy, you need to find all the location where Blender has saved the files. Some of the location where Blender would have saved the files are ~/Library/Preferences/[] ~/Library/Application Support/[]
