I’ve found this script from Paul Beach, but I want to know if there is a better way (maybe a script included in the installation).

According to FAQ, questions related to tools used by programmers or related to software development in some way are valid, that’s why I posted here since I and a lot of programmers also use Firebird for development. – Erick Sasse Jul 8 '10 at 3:05

The script is modifying environment outside of user's home directory: removing installed frameworks, global groups etc. Proper way how do this would be dedicated uninstaller. With no uninstaller available, something like that script is probably best / simplest solution.

For most applications, utilities like AppZapper handle unistallation + clean up ~/Library/ subfolders. Worth trying out for other situations - http://www.appzapper.com/, but in this case will likely not be sufficient.

AppZapper does nothing in terms of cleaning up extra users/groups, startup items, Frameworks, LaunchDaemons and Receipts which is what this script does. – Chealion Jul 9 '10 at 18:41
You are right, I changed the answer. – Miro A. Jul 9 '10 at 21:13
