If you’re looking to remove an application or software from your Mac OS operating system, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow to ensure that it’s fully removed or erased. This can be especially important if you’re looking to free up space on your computer or you no longer need the application.
First, open the Finder and search for the Applications folder. Once you’re in the folder, you’ll see all of the applications that you’ve installed on your computer. For example, if you have the VLC media player app and you want to uninstall it, you’ll need to search for it in the search bar.
However, not all of the files related to the app will appear in the search results. To find all of the files related to VLC media player, or any other software you’re looking to remove, click the plus button next to the Save button. Choose “kind” and then “other” before searching for “system.” Check the box next to “system files” and click “OK.” This will show you all of the related files for the app you’re looking to remove.
Next, select “are included” on the right-hand side. This will show you even more files related to the app. Once you’ve located all of the files related to the app, select them and drag them to the trash.
If you see a message that says the item can’t be moved because it’s open, make sure to quit the app before trying to move the files to the trash. Once you’ve moved all of the related files to the trash, the app will be fully removed from your Mac operating system.
This process can be followed for any other software or application on your computer that you’re looking to remove. By following these steps, you can ensure that the app is fully uninstalled and that you’ve freed up space on your computer.
There you have it – the steps you’ll need to follow to delete an application on your Mac operating system. No more cluttered apps taking up valuable space on your computer.
