For apps downloaded from the App Store, you can easily uninstall them in Launchpad. Hold down an app’s icon until the apps vibrate; you’ll see an uninstall button on Mac appear.

Use app uninstaller software on Mac

If you uninstall apps on your Mac in the usual way, there may still be leftover files. These files significantly take up your disk space since they may save application data, making reinstalling applications with license keys prone to errors, such as Windows emulator applications on Mac or Adobe on Mac.

The great thing is that there is CleanMyMac, an application uninstaller on Mac that cleans your Mac. Please download CleanMyMac based on your version of macOS.

≥ 10.10v4.8.4v4.8.2
Montereyv4.8.9

Before installing CleanMyMac, you need to disable Gatekeeper and enable the Anywhere option. This is required for apps downloaded from outside the App Store.

You open the CleanMyMac.dmg file and then drag and drop the CleanMyMac icon into the Applications folder as shown below to install CleanMyMac on Mac.

You don’t have to clean every day, use your Mac comfortably. About 1-2 months you clean once is enough. The features below are just a small part of Smart Scan, so just running Smart Scan is enough.

In addition, CleanMyMac also helps you monitor the machine’s status in detail when clicking the icon in the notification bar. You can exit CleanMyMac entirely by clicking the install button and choosing Quit.

Leaving CleanMyMac running will only take up more RAM and not help, Mac is not afraid of viruses like Windows. There’s no point in monitoring performance too closely because macOS is always smooth. It is recommended that you exit CleanMyMac after uninstalling the application or cleaning it up.
