Uninstall Apps Using the Trash Can
The easiest way to uninstall an app or program from your Mac is by using the trash can located on the Dock. Drag the application from wherever it is located on your Mac and drop it on the trash can. When you empty the trash, the application is deleted.
Removing Apps With the Finder
The drag-and-drop method of deleting apps with the trash can doesn’t work for all apps, but when you combine it with the Finder, you can delete almost any application. Here’s how:
Uninstall Apps Using an Uninstaller
Certain apps may include an Uninstall tool inside its Application folder. In this case, you want to uninstall using that tool. These are often large apps like Creative Cloud products from Adobe or Valve’s Steam client. To ensure that they completely uninstall from your computer, use the uninstaller if it is included with the application.
Uninstall Apps Using Launchpad
Another option for uninstalling apps on a Mac is by using the Launchpad. This is an easy no-fuss way to uninstall the programs that you purchase from the App Store.
