+
+<p>Select your startup disk (<i>Macintosh HD OS X, 10.10.1</i> in this example) and then click Restart. The computer should reboot into OS X, bypassing rEFInd.</p>
+
+<p>I recommend stopping here, because the procedure for completely removing rEFInd from a Mac depends on your installation method and tends to be challenging for many Mac users, who are unfamiliar with the necessary command-line tools. Basically, you must reverse the steps described earlier, in <a href="#osx">Installing rEFInd Manually Using Mac OS X:</a></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>You must first determine where rEFInd is installed. This can be any of
+ several locations:
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>If you installed rEFInd 0.8.3 or earlier with the default options,
+ or if you used the <tt>--notesp</tt> option with rEFInd 0.8.4 or
+ later, it will be <tt>/EFI/refind</tt> on your main partition</li>
+
+ <li>If you installed rEFInd 0.8.4 or later with the default options, or
+ if you used the <tt>--esp</tt> option with rEFInd 0.8.3 or earlier,
+ it will be in <tt>EFI/refind</tt> or <tt>EFI/BOOT</tt> on the
+ ESP.</li>
+
+ <li>If you used the <tt>--ownhfs</tt> option to <tt>install.sh</tt>,
+ rEFInd will be in the <tt>System/Library/CoreServices</tt>
+ directory on the volume you specified.</li>
+
+ <li>If you installed rEFInd manually, it will be wherever you put
+ it.</li>
+
+ <li>In all cases, there could be duplicate (inactive) rEFInd files in
+ unexpected places. This is particularly true if you tried
+ installing rEFInd multiple times, each with different options to
+ <tt>install.sh</tt>. Thus, if you delete rEFInd and it still comes
+ up, you may have deleted the wrong files. (Note that dragging files
+ to the Trash may have no effect, though—at least, not until
+ you empty the Trash.)</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+<li>If necessary, mount the ESP or rEFInd-specific HFS+ volume, as
+ described in <a href="#osx">Installing rEFInd Manually Using Mac OS
+ X.</a></li>
+
+<li>Verify that rEFInd is installed in the directory noted in step #1. If a
+ <tt>refind.conf</tt> file is present, rEFInd is almost certainly
+ installed in that directory. If not, it's not rEFInd there and you
+ should <i>not</i> proceed. <b><i>Be extra cautious about deleting the
+ <tt>System/Library/CoreServices</tt> directory,</i></b> since that's
+ the default location of the OS X boot loader! <i>Never</i> delete this
+ directory from your OS X root (<tt>/</tt>) partition, only from the
+ partition you specified to <tt>install.sh</tt> using the
+ <tt>--ownhfs</tt> option.</li>
+
+<li>Once you've identified the rEFInd directory, delete it, or at least the
+ rEFInd boot file. This file may be called <tt>refind_x64.efi</tt>,
+ <tt>bootx64.efi</tt>, <tt>boot.efi</tt>, or conceivably something else.
+ You may need to use <tt>sudo rm</tt> at the command line to accomplish
+ this task, as in <tt class="userinput">sudo rm -r
+ /Volumes/esp/EFI/refind</tt>.</li>
+
+</ol>
