I hate people who find the most hard to understand ways, but you just put it straight forward and give many options on how to do it, props to you!
with Apple, anything is possible. Even the simpliest thing can be turned into a harsh task. Respect those big brains!
well said.
I mean Windows apps leave tons of left over files and is far harder than this to clean.
I can’t update to a newer os on my 2011 MacBook ☹️
So sad this nonsense
you've got to be kidding. Mac has always been the best at this. try deleting something off a PC... its still there 15 years later or you'll kill the OS doing it properly @giangnguyentranlam5632
WOW! I'm quite impressed how individuals such as yourself find your way around all of the insides of 'how-to', and then make things so much easier for some like me. I am grateful!! Easy-peasy now thanks to this video presentation.
Been trying to delete viber on my Mac for weeks using other's vids here in YT and yours is the only one that worked. Thank you for your instructional!
I was trying to remove a virus software from last one week but it didn't work. Now finally your video helped me to remove. Thank you so much for your video. Great job.
Thank you for the quick, clear, and straight-forward tutorial.
Sir thank you soooooooo much, You saved my DJ gigs.... my license file on serato dj corrupted and It doesn't update looking into a new Macbook. I couldn't find it manually but with your help I made it 5min before my gig starts.
It's so nice to find a tutorial without extraneous comments. You showed us the necessary steps and then you were done. Thank you! I cannot see anything that tells me who you are. What do enter in the Search to see all of your videos?
You are a life saver! I have been trying to figure out how to delete these files for a while and then I get frustrated and give up until the next time. You made it so easy to find what I needed in order to accomplish my task. App and all files deleted!!! You made my day :) ~ Thank you!!!
Thank you! Finally I find a video that shows very straight forward how to delete an application and all the files associated with it. So many other videos just telling me to download this app so that it can be deleted for you and most of those apps charge money for a subscription. You are awesome and saved me a ton of time. I have liked and subscribed keep it coming. Thanks again.
Thank you, before I came to your channel I was on some other channels. I knew their teaching was incomplete when some said drag to bin, some are like a fast train. I liked how you explained clearly the step by step. I managed to uninstall. Thanks again 😊
Dude you are a lifeee saverrr, I've been physically pulling my hair out for days trying to figure out how to find and delete these stupid files!! Thank you!!
Do you have a tutorial on how to uninstall native Mac apps such as Apple Music?
It really SHOULD NOT be this complicated to uninstall an app!!!!!!!!!
I agree! Apple says it’s so easy and I follow what they say and everything gets messed up! So tired of this crap all the time with my Mac 🖥
Excellent tutorial! I couldn't find any instructions on the manufacturer's web site. But your tutorial provided the answer. Thank you, so much!
BRAVO, finally a video that's to the point, accurate, and very intelligently produced. Muchas gracias.......
Thank you
Worked 100%
Had issues with one app-couldnt delete for weeks.
Excellent presentation. Clarity and pleasant delivery. I just subscribed to you. Thank you.
Love how good you are explaining. Would you do a video for ordinary windows user who do not have Mac? Thank you. x 🙂
Thanks a lot. I do have a question: are Apple all uninstallable?
It blows my mind how the most basic task is so complicated on a Mac
this video is gold; especially with plugins that embed themselves in all kinds of places.
Thank you! I have been having trouble finding an OBS plugin till I followed your video! Thanks again
Thank you for this straightforward video that's not trying to sell some unnecessary PC/Mac Cleaner app!
Thank you so much I had an app that was just becoming the owner of my music library, but now it's gone. Big up.
Very helpful video! Clear, straightforward, and easy to follow.
Yep and my computer even showed what he showed exactly. That never happens!
Thanks, this was the clearest, most helpful - I could follow it. All I had left of iMovie in the system files that wouldn't go into the trash was one folder. When I opened It, it was plug ins and sounds. Should I get rid of this and, if so, how? Maybe it's linked to other apps?
thank you for content u made which is really helpful
but there are a few files that I cannot delete them... any idea?
Excellent and very well delivered presentation, that made my at removing a programme super easy.
this is the proper way to do it without install the third party app. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! I uninstalled Webroot but the icons were still in my dock and menu bar. I followed your instructions and everything cleaned right up.
thank you so so so much, i had trouble with the Origin app from EA and i tried every method but it didn't work and i was losing my mind but i stumbled upon ur video and it helped solve the problem!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm newish to mac and was having fits with GOG and needed to get rid of it.
TY YOUR SUCH A LIFE SAVER
how do you confirm the files belong to the program you are trying to delete? i want to delete a program and 30+ files pop up .... how do i know i am not deleting important system files?
What about the "Apple News" app. When I finished the "system files are included" part, I got a real lot of folders and files. Some were even for "Microsoft News" which I am fine with deleting. But with so many files, I can't tell which ones are actually needed and which can be deleted. Thanks
Good tutorial as far as it went, however, I had to call Apple help when I couldn't get the app to close so I could delete it. Once he showed me how to force quit to get it to close, everything was finally deleted. Thanks for the rest of the explanation.
Thanks Bro! I watched pair of videos before but you explained it so good.
You're welcome! Glad I could make it easier to understand.
Very concise and clear explanation. Thank you.
Omg best video ever. So easy. Thank you
. All other very complicated even official image line site
I have a question. I uninstalled creative cloud and cleared any lingering files or folders. But I didn’t know I have to restart the macbook after doing this. I kinda shutdown my laptop. Is that still ok?
Its my first time having a macbook. I’m using a macbook pro M1 2021
Much loves! Great simple explanation with great voice. Really love it. Thank you
Thank you for a simple, clean how to. subscribed!
This worked on my 2022 M1 MacBook Air with MacOS Ventura on January 27th, 2023
This is going to be my default way to delete any apps from my Mac from now on. I will share this video and teach anyone out there needs help.
Thank you so much, it was useful video, may God bless you brother ❤ peace from Morocco 🇲🇦
Thanks for the video! It's saying that I don't have permission to delete my files, do you know what I can do about that?
thanks for the video, nice and simple for luddites like me.
my dad needed to delet minecraft from his macbook and i did not know how , this vedo helped alot ty 😊
so helpful thank you
amazing guidance
Wow! Straight forward, clear and short, yet, very efficient! Cheers ;)
i was so confused what i was doing wrong and this video helped me so much!!!!!!
I had to use my university VPN for an assignment which was an application called Cisco. After I didn’t need it anymore I deleted EVERY FILE like it was shown in this video. But if I ever restarted my MacBook, a notification saying “Cannot open the application Cisco because it is the trash” would constantly pop up. I went thru my terminal trying to code a way to uninstall it and went through my activity launcher. Nothing worked. UNTIL I FINALLY FOUND THIS VIDEO AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS EMPTY MY TRASH
This was EXCELLENT! However, I have already trashed some camera icons/apps and when I go to use a third party conference app it tells me to remove cameras. How do I approach this if I've already deleted those apps (a month ago)? I did not follow your steps above but no longer have the app icon in my lists...help!
This Content is so helpful, so much so You've gained a New Sub, thanks for Your assistance 🤗

thanks
Thank you so much! I was able to perform these steps on my own!
Hi thank you for this tutorial, but what about when you type in the name of the app but it also pulls up files that are unrelated to the app?
Thank you. This video helped alot
Thank you. Very simple and informative.
Thank you soooo much! I have an app that doesn’t work and delete and was sooooooooo annoying for me. Thanks a lot❤❤❤❤
thnx this is without using any fancy app! life saver
I'm still using the 2015, please upload more videos about it🙏🙏🙏, thank you
Thank you so much for your help, great video, clear and straightforward!
Interesting. I do the "system files" directly and not adding the "name > matches". I wanted to uninstall chrome and I noticed that typing chrome and google chrome gives different results. When I do not include the name matches and typing chrome, there are associated files like pdf files and javascript that has diff destination files not directed to chrome. Adding the name>matches and typing chrome seems to remove associated files that I mentioned. It has fewer files though which I hope is more accurate?
I tried your steps but got a message that the app that im trying to delete is locked. What can i do to delete it now?
Good teacher. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for the tutorial. what mouse do you use with your mac?
Wowwww you are awesome and thank you so much 😊
Thank's For The Big Help! Dude You R Awesome!
This was a great video and easy to follow!!!
Yeah so followed steps. All went well. Ended up with 48 files from one app. Selected them all, tried to move to trash, no go. Tried to move them individually, they moved but created a copy in source file. No joy!
Thank you for your help your explanation was by far the best.
You saved my life there was this app my kid got me cs go and it was glitched can’t be opened or found but it uses like 20 Gb thanks a lot I got rid of it
