Removing Any Programs on a Mac with Movavi Mac Cleaner

How many apps and programs are installed on your Mac, and more importantly – how many of them do you actually use? Generally most people tend to have a lot of apps on their Mac that they haven’t used for months or even years, but simply did not get around to removing. As you can imagine over time these unused apps will pile up and consume quite a lot of storage space.

As a rule of thumb it is always best to remove apps or programs that you aren’t using – but how you go about doing that can be a bit tricky. If you installed apps via the Mac App Store you can delete apps via the LaunchPad and then empty the trash so that they are removed completely.

However if you did not install apps via the Mac App Store you’ll have to delete them from the Applications folder then empty the trash. Often apps deleted in this fashion will leave behind files, so you will also have to check the Library folder and cache files too. All in all it can be pretty tedious, which is why an easier option is to use Movavi Mac Cleaner instead.

To learn how to uninstall apps on Mac with Movavi Mac Cleaner is straightforward enough. Once it is launched it will scan your Mac for junk files, and show you the results so that you can choose to delete them all if you like. However the feature that you’re looking for to remove apps is the ‘Uninstaller’, and you can select it in the left-side of the app.

After you select the ‘Uninstaller’, Movavi Mac Cleaner will once again scan your Mac to find all the apps and programs that are installed on it. It will then list these apps into three categories – ‘User Apps’, ‘OS X Apps’, and ‘Leftovers’. To remove any apps you need only check the boxes next to them then click the button to cleanly delete them from your Mac. The same applies to items in the ‘Leftovers’ section, which will contain any leftover files from apps that may have been uninstalled in the past.

For the best results you should take full advantage of all the features that Movavi Mac Cleaner brings to the table. That includes not only removing unused programs, but also cleaning out junk files, shredding confidential files, and protecting your Mac with its built-in antivirus and firewall.

With the help of these features you’ll be able to keep your Mac in a good overall condition, and free up as much of its storage space as possible. As you can see it is a lot easier to remove programs with this method, so be sure to give it a try.
