Step 2: If in case the app is a folder, open the folder and click on 'Uninstall App name' or 'App name uninstaller' and then follow the instructions on-screen. Step 1: Click on the 'Finder' icon on your Mac system and select 'Applications' from the Finder sidebar. If you do this however, make sure its an application you don’t mind setting back up from scratch. Follow the steps below to uninstall apps on Mac using app uninstaller.

Fully uninstalling with AppCleaner or AppZapper will delete these files, upon which you can re-install the application which will install a fresh copy of the preference file and plist file. After a while all these left behind files could start to bog down the system and actually amount to quite a lot of unnecessarily wasted space.Īnother tip I feel I should pass along is if you have an application thats started to randomly act up or crash, and nothing you do fixes the issue, it may work to fully uninstall and re-install the application. I checked another application (ClamXav) and it was planning on leaving behind 41MB in a folder located in my ~Library folder. As you can see from the image, the extra content is less than 1MB in size (so small you wouldn’t even normally notice it).

AppCleaner will show you the location, name and size of the extra files that would normally be left behind. Clicking on one of the applications that you’d like to uninstall, then clicking the Search button will bring up all the preferences, logs, plist files, caches ect.
