What is the most effective and safest way to uninstall Mac

software that I no longer use? Jag Singh

1

Grab an app

Oh the irony! Go to

freemacsoft.net and then

download the free AppCleaner

app. Launch it and the interface

will consist of a small window

into which you drag old apps.

2

Select an app

Navigate to your Mac’s

Applications folder and drag the

icon of an app you no longer

want to the AppCleaner window.

It will scan for all files associated

with that app on your Mac.

3

Remove app

When AppCleaner presents

a list of files associated with the

app, tick them all and click on

‘Remove’. Enter your username

and password and the app will

clear out all of the files.
