How to remove toolboxes?

I want to remove specific toolboxes on Macintosh, without uninstalling Matlab. How should I do that?

[Adam]

I'm not familiar with a Macintosh at all, but on Windows when you go to uninstall Matlab itself you get a window asking which products you wish to uninstall so you can just select certain toolboxes rather than the full software. Does Mac not do this?

No, Mac does not have a registry of installed software. There are various ways of obtaining a list, but they mostly involve software searching the disk for .app bundles, which might miss many things that are installed but which are not formal "applications".

Go to Manage Add-ons, right click on the toolbox you want to delete, and there is now an option to delete it even on Mac.

Hi Francesco,

The ability to uninstall toolboxes is currently only available on Windows. Please refer to the below links which might me helpful:

Not totally sure how it works on a Mac, but another way of pseudo-removing the toolbox might be to remove the toolbox folder from the path.

Go to the Home tab, click Set Path, click the folder of the toolbox you don't want it to use anymore, and click Remove.

It doesn't delete it from the disk (you can do that manually though) but the functions in the toolbox should not be able to be called anymore (unless you explicitly change the current folder to that folder) since the toolbox functions will no longer be on the search path.
