How can you uninstall the sensor on a Mac system?

The sensor can be uninstalled on a Mac system using the terminal command sudo /Applications/Falcon.app/Contents/Resources/falconctl uninstall. This method is designed specifically for the Falcon sensor and leverages the command-line interface, which is a supported and recommended approach by CrowdStrike for managing the sensor on macOS.

Using this command ensures that the uninstallation process is executed with the necessary permissions and can effectively remove all components of the Falcon application, ensuring a clean removal without leaving residual files that could interfere with future installations or system performance.

The other methods, such as using the Control Panel's uninstall feature or manually deleting the Falcon application, are not applicable for macOS as they would not properly execute the necessary clean-up operations. Additionally, running the installer with an uninstall option is not the standard procedure for macOS, and while it may work in some contexts, it is best practice to follow the officially recommended command line method for consistency and reliability.
