If you are using a Mac, there may come a time when you need to uninstall or fully remove an application from your operating system. This can be done easily by following a few simple steps.
First, open the Finder and search for the Applications folder. Once you have found it, go inside the folder and you will see all the applications you have installed on your Mac. For example, if you want to uninstall VLC media player, you can search for it in the search bar.
However, not all the files related to VLC will be displayed. To find all the files, click on the plus button next to the Save button on the top right-hand side of the Finder window. Then click on “Kind” and select “Other”. In the search bar, type “system” and select the option for “system files”. Check the checkbox in front of “system files” and click OK. This will show you all the files related to VLC media player or any other software you want to uninstall.
Next, select “are included” on the right-hand side of the window. You will now see all the files related to VLC media player. To uninstall the software, simply drag all the files to the trash.
Sometimes, you may see a message that says the item cannot be moved because it is open. In this case, you need to close the software first before you can delete the files related to it.
This procedure can be followed for any other software on your Mac operating system. By removing all the related files, you will be able to successfully remove the software from your system.
In conclusion, this is how you can easily delete any application or software on your Mac operating system. No need to worry if you need to free up some space or just want to uninstall some unwanted software. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be done in no time.
