It goes without saying that you will install applications on a Mac yourself. These can be standard apps from Apple such as iMovie or Pages, but also third -party apps. Eventually you may want to completely remove one or more applications.
Removing Mac App Store applications is simple and can be the easiest via Launchpad. If you have installed apps outside the Mac App Store, it is a different story. You cannot simply delete this as the Mac App Store apps as standard. Often there is still ‘junk’ and the app is not deleted well. To prevent this, you can remove applications from your Mac with the ‘remover’ from Cleanmymac.
Remove apps
Probably remove your applications by dragging them to the trash, but that is actually not the right way. When you remove an app by dragging it to the trash, you leave countless associated files on your Mac, such as caches, preferences, stored statuses and more.
You can completely remove Mac App Store application via Launchpad. Open the overview, the Option⌥ pressed press and click on the cross at the app.
Programs that you have downloaded from the website of the developer or subscription services such as SetApp are not always easy to remove. Some apps have built in a ‘uninstall’ option so that everything is deleted when removing, but that is not always the case. Do you want to completely and quickly remove applications from your Mac? Then you can use the remover from Cleanmymac.

This will make your Mac perform optimally again and you will release extra storage space. But that is not all, the Mac app can also scan on malware, protect privacy, update apps and much more.
Another handy function is ‘remover’. Through this part it is possible to easily remove all apps installed on your Mac. The program is completely deleted, including accompanying (hidden) folders, parts and installation files.
- Open the Cleanmymac app
- In the navigation column, click ‘Apps’.
