What is the most effective method for removing apps? Is it worthwhile to purchase software such as MacKeeper? I want to uninstall the app and delete the leftover files all together to release disk space on my Mac.
To uninstall apps on Mac, you can delete them from Launchpad, remove them from the Finder Applications folder, use the app’s built-in uninstaller function, run commands in Terminal, and rely on a third-party app uninstaller. Each has its pros and cons.
If you choose to use macOS built-in tools to uninstall apps on Mac, you need to put extra effort into locating and deleting the leftover files of uninstalled apps, otherwise, these generated files remain on your Mac to eat up disk space.
The easiest way to uninstall apps and remove the leftovers is using a third-party app uninstaller for Mac such as iBoysoft MagicMenu, it scans the files generated by the app you want to uninstall and allows you to delete them with the app altogether.
