Adobe Flash is dead – let’s get it removed

After 24 years and 1078 known security vulnerabilities, Adobe Flash has reached end of life status as of December 31, 2020.

To assist with the process of removing Adobe Flash, I’ve written an uninstall script which will completely remove Adobe Flash. For more details, please see below the jump.

This script is designed to uninstall the Adobe Flash plug-ins and their associated components. As part of this, it runs the following actions:

  1. Stop Adobe Flash Install Manager
  2. If running, unload the launchdaemon used by the Adobe Flash update process.
  3. Remove the Adobe Flash plug-ins, Adobe Flash Install Manager and their associated components.
  4. Remove Adobe Flash preference pane settings at the user level.
  5. Forget the installer package receipts.

The script is available below and at the following address on GitHub:
