How to uninstall an app using the Finder.

When you drag an app to the Trash, some of its files might stay on your Mac. To remove an app completely, you need to delete both the app and its associated files.

If you installed the app from the App Store, you can delete it with just a few clicks. If you downloaded the app from somewhere else, you might need to do a bit more work to get rid of it.

Here’s how to delete an app using the Finder:

1. Open the Finder and click Applications in the sidebar.
2. Locate the app you want to delete in the list of apps.
3. Select the app and then click Move to Trash at the top of the window. The icon for the app will change to a trash can .

Doing this will delete the app and all of its associated files from your computer.

How to uninstall an app using the Terminal.

When you installed macOS onto your computer, a number of pre-installed apps came along for the ride. While some of these apps might be useful to you, others might be taking up valuable space on your hard drive and crowding out the apps that you actually use. If you want to get rid of these unwanted apps, you can do so by uninstalling them from your computer.

One way to uninstall an app is to use the Terminal, which is a text-based interface that allows you to enter commands into your computer. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Terminal application. You can find this in the Utilities folder, which is located in the Applications folder.
2. In the Terminal window, type in the following command: sudo rm -rf /Applications/.app/
3. Replace with the actual name of the app that you want to uninstall (for example, sudo rm -rf /Applications/Safari.app/).
4. Press Enter on your keyboard and enter your password when prompted. This will delete the app from your computer.

1. Open the Finder and go to the Library folder.

2. Find the Preferences folder and open it.

3. Find the com.companyname.appname folder and delete it.

4. Empty the Trash.

How to delete an app’s saved data.

When you delete an app, any data that app has saved on your Mac is also deleted. However, there are some cases where you might want to delete an app but keep its data. For example, if you’re uninstalling an app because it’s causing problems, you might want to keep its data so you can reinstall it later and pick up where you left off.

Here’s how to delete an app but keep its data:

1. Open the Finder and go to the Applications folder.
2. Locate the app you want to delete and right-click (or Control-click) on it.
3. select “Show Package Contents” from the menu that appears.
4. In the new window that opens, go to the Contents folder.
5. Locate the file called “Info.plist” and drag it to your desktop or another location. This file contains information about the app, including its saved data.
6. Now you can delete the app without deleting its saved data.
