How to Uninstall Apps on macOS

On macOS, dragging an app to the Trash doesn’t always remove everything.
Leftover files like settings, caches, launch agents, or background daemons still consume disk space and might run silently in the background.

✅ Step 1: Open Terminal

Press Command (⌘) + Space to open Spotlight Search
Type Terminal and hit Return

✅ Step 2: Paste This Command

Copy the following line and paste it into Terminal, then press Return:

Terminal

Loading...

What does this command do?

It searches your Library folders for files related to the app name and deletes them, including:

.plist preference files
Caches and support folders
Launch agents that may auto-start

This ensures no background processes or leftover data remain.

🎉 Done — App Fully Removed

Now you’ve done what the Trash alone can’t — a clean uninstall.
Your Mac has more space, no leftover files, and nothing is launching behind your back.
