This would be better than hard-coding the bundle identifier...
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
removePersistentDomainForName:
[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]];

If you call this, the prefs file will be deleted for you, and will

I tested this by calling it in -applicationWillTerminate:. I assume
you could call it sooner.
To see your app's bundle identifier, go to Targets ->
YourApplication -> Get Info (Command-I) -> Properties ->
Identifier. (I mention this because I forgot where it was specified
myself and had to dig around.)

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.
