How to uninstall TurboTax from a Mac completely?
Before utilizing the native app remover on Mac, let's try a third-party application uninstaller first. Compared to the built-in utility, the third-party uninstaller -- CleanMyApp does better in removing an app from a Mac.
For the native app remover, you need to move the unwanted app to the Trash. Followingly, you have to find its associated files scattered all over the folders or volumes for cleaning. That repetitive task is quite annoying and time-wasting. Yet CleanMyApp has no such need.
Once CleanMyApp is installed, it collects all app files including packages, root files, user files/settings, caches, preferences, etc. in a list for you to determine what to delete. This wonderful tool saves time and effort in the extreme for you to complete an app removal task.
We'll show you how to use CleanMyApp to remove TurboTax from a Mac completely (this post takes ZeroTier as an example):
Step 1: Free download to install CleanMyApp on your Mac.
Step 2: Click Grant access to permit CleanMyApp to access the application folder. If the file isn't stored in the Application folder, allow CleanMyApp to access the related folder directly.
Step 3: Launch this handy app uninstaller and it will show you a list that can be uninstalled from your machine. You can scroll down to find TurboTax or you can navigate this app by typing its name in the search box.
Step 4: Check TurboTax in the app list and click Uninstall on the right bottom corner of the main widow.
Step 5: Click Continue uninstall to confirm your uninstall plan.
Step 6: Click Finish and then you're completing this uninstall task!
This way takes the app away from your Mac as well as all its files and data in one go, which is fairly convenient to use!
