In the Finder's Go menu, select 'Go to Folder'; in the resulting dialog window, type '/usr/local/texlive'. You will see folders containing various copies of TeX Live. Drag the folder corresponding to the version of TeX Live you want to uninstall to the trash. You will need to provide an administrative password when asked. The uninstall tab of the TeX Live Manager GUI refers to this. For a single-user install, the installer also creates an uninstall entry under the Start menu. For an admin install, the TeX Live directories are write-protected, at least if TeX Live is installed on a normal NTFS-formatted non-removable disk. The function installtinytex downloads and installs TinyTeX, a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. The function uninstalltinytex removes TinyTeX; reinstalltinytex reinstalls TinyTeX as well as previously installed LaTeX packages by default; tinytexroot returns the root directory of TinyTeX if found.
