Uninstaller
Uninstaller is the macFUSE removal utility used to completely uninstall macFUSE components from a Mac when they are no longer needed.
What is Uninstaller?
Uninstaller is a macOS utility distributed with macFUSE that removes installed macFUSE components from a Mac. It is intended for users who no longer need macFUSE or who are troubleshooting software that depends on FUSE-based file system support. Users typically encounter it inside the macFUSE installer disk image, where it is provided as a dedicated removal tool rather than a general-purpose app. Its main job is to cleanly uninstall macFUSE so related third-party file system integrations stop using that framework. This makes it most relevant for maintenance, reinstallation, and compatibility cleanup workflows on macOS. macFUSE is published by Benjamin Fleischer.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This utility is part of the normal macFUSE maintenance workflow and its removal behavior is expected for its purpose. Running it will uninstall macFUSE components, which can cause apps and file systems that depend on macFUSE to stop working until macFUSE is installed again. Use it only when you intend to remove that support or are following a reinstall or troubleshooting step.
Recommendation: Keep this utility only if you still use macFUSE-based software or want an easy way to remove macFUSE later. If you no longer rely on any app or file system that needs macFUSE, removing the uninstaller is usually fine after you finish cleanup.
