Four ways to uninstall a Mac app

  
Uninstalling an already installed app from a Mac may be the easiest way to know the operating system. And if you're a newcomer to a Mac, you might be confused: How can I uninstall them without the corresponding sections in the control panel? But in fact, you can't think of it, it's almost awkward to uninstall the app on a Mac. This article will discuss how to uninstall an already installed application on a Mac computer. 1. The most classic method This is the most classic method of OS X. Simply find the application you want to uninstall and drag the app icon to the trash can; or right-click and select the Move to Trash option; or press the command-delete shortcut combination directly. Then right click on the Trash icon and select the "Empty Trash" option. 2. Using LaunchPad If your app comes from the Mac App Store, you can be a little faster: Step 1: Launch the LaunchPad app (or press the F4 key on your keyboard). Step 2: Click and hold the icon of the application you want to uninstall until they start to shake, click the "X" button in the upper left corner; or press the option button to enter the dither mode. Step 3: Click "Delete" and confirm. ▲ Note: Do not empty the trash at this time. Using LaunchPad to uninstall is the fastest way to run on OS X 10.7 and higher. If you use an iOS device, you should be familiar with this uninstall method. 3. Help with third-party applications You can also uninstall using Clean My Mac or CCleaner or AppCleaner. (▲ Note: Clean My Mac Uninstall) (▲ Note: CCleaner Uninstall) (▲ Note: CCleaner Uninstall) With the help of third-party applications, the uninstall process is much simpler. In addition, these third-party uninstallers will also remove some associated library files, configuration files, etc., which is convenient. 4. Using the uninstaller that comes with the application, you may notice that some applications include a separate uninstall tool after installation. This is rare on the Mac, but there are some applications that are so unique: they are usually Adobe or Microsoft software. For example, Adobe's Photoshop application might install additional applications such as Adobe Bridge while installing the main program. In this case, you can use the included uninstaller to help. 5. Sweeping work: delete the application's library files, cache, preferences, uninstall some applications, will leave some preset files and cache, etc., generally these files have no potential harm, but you can delete them to completely follow the application The procedure says goodbye. These files are usually located in the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/(application name)~/Library/Preferences/(application name)~/Library/Caches/(application name) Note: Sometimes you will need to find a developer The name, not the name of the application, because not all application files are identified by their name. The above is the method I used when I uninstalled the app using my Mac.
