Notion is an incomparable software that allows your team to create a doc, connect it to a project, and track tasks with colleagues dealing with the missions that matter most.
However, when it becomes useless to you one day, it's highly recommended to remove it from the Mac hard drive to free up more available space. More importantly, it makes your machine vulnerable to software conflicts and operating system issues to have barely used software left on the Mac.
Although Notion the app itself takes up a few sizes of space, the documents and projects you create on it accumulate heavily, triggering this software and its associated data consuming vast space on your Mac workstation. Hence, it's a must to uninstall Notion from the Mac completely!
How to uninstall Notion from a Mac completely with iBoysoft MagicMenu?
The longer you use Notion for creating documents, the more files and data accumulate on your Mac hard drive. Including the software files, the user data of Notion are scattered on different volumes or partitions, making it quite challenging to locate them.
On top of that, you may randomly find the files reappearing on your Mac after deletion, only because you uninstall the app with the simple drag-and-Move to Trash way.
Therefore, a professional app uninstaller for Mac - iBoysoft MagicMenu is recommended here. It is an excellent right-click enhancer that stands out for its Uninstall feature among loads of right-click software on Mac.
Once downloaded, it scans the hard drive bit by bit and sector by sector, gathering all associated files of Notion including the install packages, extensions, launch helpers, support files, caches, preferences, root files, data logs, junks, etc. on your machine. Then it asks for your confirmation on what files to delete along with the Notion uninstallation.
Only the uninstall being thorough like the before can be called a complete uninstall. Here we'll show you how to uninstall Notion from your Mac completely with the assistance of iBoysoft MagicMenu.
Step 1: Download and install iBoysoft MagicMenu on your Mac.
Step 2: Launch this handy app uninstaller and search Uninstall in its main window to have a download. Note that iBoysoft MagicMenu only takes a little space and so does the Uninstall function, which barely influences your Mac.
Step 3: Go to Finder > Applications, locate the Notion app that you want to remove, then right-click it to select Uninstall from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Wait for this professional app remover to gather all associated files of the will-be-uninstalled app. Once it finishes, check the useless files to let them be removed along with the app.
Step 5: Click Uninstall to confirm your actions and initiate the uninstall progress. This progress may take up to several seconds.
