           Fusion downloaded from Autodesk.com:

          1. Click the Launchpad.

          2. Find and click on the Remove Autodesk Fusion 360 icon. This starts the Uninstaller.

         Clearing remaining program files:

           1. Using Finder navigate to /users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/.

           2. Check for and delete the following folders if they exist:

                 - Autodesk Fusion 360

                 - MC3

                 - FusionDoc 2016

                 - NINVFUS

                 - production

                 - Web Services

                 - Webdeploy

           3. Next, in Finder go to the following folders and remove the listed folders/files:

                 - /users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Common - If present, delete the Material Library folder.

                 - /users/<username>/Downloads - If present, delete Fusion 360 Client Downloader.dmg.

                 - /users/<username>/Library/Caches/com.autodesk.senddump

                 - /users/<username>/Library/Logs/autodesk.webdeploy.streamer.log

                 - /users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.autodesk.AcCoreConsole.plist
                 - /users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.autodesk.fusion360.Autodesk Fusion 360.plist
                 - /users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.autodesk.MC3Framework.plist

           4. Finally, launch a Terminal window.

           5. At the prompt enter open $TMPDIR and press <Enter>.  

           6. In the Finder window if present, move the following folders to the Trash:

               - Autodesk

               - Neutron

               - protolabs

           7. Once done, close Finder, then close Terminal.

           8. Next we'll clear the memory of any latent processes. Either restart your system or launch Activity Monitor, look for the

               process "cfprefsd" and force quit it.

           Fusion downloaded from the Apple Store:

           1. Drag the Fusion 360 icon from the LaunchPad to the trash.

           2. Using Finder go to /Users/<username>/Library/Containers.

           3. Delete the entry com.autodesk.mas.

           4. Close Finder.

We are trying to deploy fusion 360 via Casper. WE are getting inconsistent updates from the App store. Some machines installed the trial version while others installed the full version. We can't use the ap unless it is updated. 

Does anyone have experience with Casper ( JAMF) deployment of Fusion 360? In desperate need of help..

Sincerely, 

Patti Shayne

If this was accurate when it was written, it is no longer. Fusion 360 does not appear in the Windows OS Control Panel.

Hi,

have a look at the Service Utilities  and try the instructions on how to uninstall it manually.

How are you sure of this? All my Fusion installations are listed in the control panel.
