Parallels Desktop can be removed without the installation disc using the Terminal.

To remove Parallels Desktop using the Terminal:

    sudo sh /Library/Parallels/Uninstaller/Parallels\ Hypervisor/uninstaller.sh virtualization

    Note: If the Password: line appears, you will need to enter an administrator's password.

  2. When Parallels Desktop is removed the following message appears:

    [UN_PERCENT]:100[UN_OP]:Uninstall successfull[UN_MSG]:Removed successfully

Note: The operation of removing Parallels Desktop doesn't remove virtual machines and their files from your Mac.
