Deleting preference file from within the application

Hi all,

I am attempting to add an 'Uninstall' option to an application, to do this I remove all the support files and then finally delete the preferences file and terminate the application.

unfortunately (albeit unsurprisingly) the last thing the application does before it quits is write out the preferences, thereby recreating the preferences file.

is there anyway to stop the application from doing this? Ive looked through NSUserDefaults but there is nothing there that looks up to the job.

does anyone have any ideas?


thanks for any help.


- Andrew
